The AGS top 25 poll stayed pretty calm at the top after week 2 but saw some significant shifting towards the bottom. The top 5 remained unchanged with James Madison, North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Sam Houston State, and Jacksonville State maintaining that top 5 order for the 2nd straight week.
The New Hampshire Wildcats jumped 4 spots up to #8 following their win over FBS Georgia Southern. Western Illinois also jumped 4 spots to #14 following their win at Northern Arizona. South Dakota leaped up 10 spots to get into the rankings at #17 following their win over FBS Bowling Green. Despite significant movement in the bottom half of the poll there were no other new teams in the top 25 this week.
Eastern Washington dropped 7 spots down to #16 following their blowout home loss to North Dakota State. Despite losing to a top 25 FBS team in LSU this week the Chattanooga Mocs dropped 4 spots to #19 following their 0-2 start. Wofford also dropped 3 spots to #9 following their lackluster 1 point win over Mercer and Colgate dropped 3 spots to #24 after a close loss to #11 Richmond. Lehigh dropped out of the top 25 after their loss to Monmouth dropped them to 0-2.
The MVFC led the way again placing 7 of their 10 teams into the top 25. They were followed by the CAA and SOCON with 4 each and the Big Sky with 3. The Southland and the MEAC each placed 2 teams into the top 25.
