The Ottawa University football team's historic season took another step forward Sunday.

The Braves (10-0) moved up to No. 5 in the final regular season NAIA poll, the highest ranking since the 1965 squad also finished fifth.

Ottawa also will be a host of a football playoff game, a first in school history. Ottawa plays 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Peoples Bank Field against No. 13 Hasting College(9-2), Neb.

It is the first playoff berth for Ottawa since 2003 and fourth in school history. Ottawa lost the three previous first-round games.
