The latest FCS polls are out, and North Dakota State remained the unanimous #1 team in the land. The CAA placed three teams in the top 10 this week, with frontrunners New Hampshire leading the way at #2. Villanova dropped 3 spots to #7 while Richmond rose 5 spots to #8. Being ranked one spot lower than the team they just beat should go over well with Spider fans.
William & Mary dropped 7 spots to #24 following a loss to James Madison, while Albany dropped out of the rankings after getting pasted by UNH.
