Overview: The Wartburg College Knights dominated the Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC) on the gridiron in 2017, finishing unbeaten at 8-0 in conference play en route to a final overall record of 12-1. 

Once the Knights advanced to the NCAA Division III playoffs, they had somewhat mixed results in postseason play, edging Franklin 35-34 in a first-round overtime thriller, trouncing Trine 49-7 in the second round, before being eliminated by Wisconsin-Oshkosh 41-27 in the quarterfinals for their lone loss of last season.

With a preseason ranking of No. 13 in the d3football.com poll, as well as at No. 15 in the Street and Smith's poll, expectations for another deep D-III playoff run once again will be high for Wartburg going into 2018.
