Perfection: Boy did this one take a hit this week, with three of the five undefeated teams tripping along the path. #1 North Dakota State loses to #11 South Dakota State, giving NDSU their first loss in a year (October 17, 2015), perhaps it’s this week that does it for them. I have it on good authority that as you’re reading this, David Harris (Northern Iowa’s Director of Athletics) is furiously typing an email to try and get the Panthers and Bison scheduled for October 14th next year.
#5 Chattanooga gets their first loss to #7 The Citadel, who remains undefeated and moves to 6-0. #20 Harvard has the most surprising loss of the three teams, losing to a subpar Holy Cross team that looks to be middle of the pack in the Patriot League. #4 Sam Houston State easily handles Abilene Christian, so Sam Houston State and The Citadel are the final two undefeated teams in the FCS.
Of course, Abilene Christian is one of the teams trying to run the table in reverse, they fall to 0-7. Joining them at the kids table is Austin Peay (0-6), Bethune-Cookman (0-5), Delaware State (0-6), and Mississippi Valley State (0-7). Furman gets themselves off the schneid though, with a win over East Tennessee State.
Under The Radar: Last year, Portland State was the surprise team who enjoyed a better than expected season, and while things aren’t working out quite as well, there are a few teams that aren’t on the HTF sheet with records suggesting they may be worthy of you taking a few seconds to examine.
- Weber State (4-2, 3-0) has won four straight games, their only losses this year are to FBS Utah State and #30 South Dakota, on the road, in double-overtime.
- Maine (3-3, 2-1) has won three straight games, their record is hurt by two losses to FBS opponents, but they are 3-1 against FCS competition with their only loss to #6 James Madison.
- North Carolina Central (5-2, 4-0) isn’t getting the attention that #22 North Carolina A&T is because A&T has an FBS win that Central doesn’t, but NCCU has won 5 straight games and their only losses were to FBS teams, #24 Western Michigan and Duke.
