The Baldwin-Wallace College football program is one of the best in all of college football. It is a simple and plain fact that is both factual and result based. Virtually every season, B-W is a contender for both the prestigious Ohio Athletic Conference title and the NCAA Division III National Championship.

On the field, B-W has built a history of being arguably the best football program in the history of the OAC. In 114-year history of football at the College, the Yellow Jackets have compiled an all-time record of 520-295 with a .615 winning percentage. The 520 wins are the most of any current OAC member school.

The Yellow Jackets have had 40 winning seasons in the past 42 years, including a 38-year streak that began in 1967 and ended in 2005. B-W won the 1978 national championship and has advanced to the NCAA Division III Playoffs five times, most recently in 2003 when it advanced to the second round. The Jackets have captured 12 OAC titles, including three straight from 1982 through 1984.
