Undefeated Glenville State moved up two slots to grab the top spot in this week’s coaches poll, while Ashland rose three spots to occupy the No. 1 ranking in the media poll.
The Tigers have had success when ranked seventh in the national coaches poll, winning all nine games when ranked seventh all-time. FHSU is 127-33 when ranked in the coaches poll during the DII era.
Two other MIAA programs are listed in the top 25, with Nebraska-Kearney dipping to No. 17 in the coaches poll and No. 14 in the media poll. Missouri Western returned to the coaches poll at No. 25 after a one-week hiatus. After defeating FHSU and UNK on the road last week, Missouri Southern is now listed in the receiving votes category.
