The week 8 AGS Top 25 poll was not nearly as volatile this week as it was last week. The top 5 remained unchanged as Eastern Washington, Jacksonville State, North Dakota State, Sam Houston State, and The Citadel all maintained their positions in that order. 5 teams received 1st place votes; the top 4 along with James Madison who came in at #6.
There were no big risers on the week amongst teams previously included in the top 25 but several teams jumped 3 spots including Cal Poly, Central Arkansas, and North Dakota to come in at #11-#13, respectively. New Hampshire reclaimed a spot in the top 25 rising four spots to come in at #23 and Weber State made their 2016 debut in the top 25 rising up 8 spots to #24.
Montana had one of the biggest drops of the week falling 6 spots into a tie at #15 following their loss to Northern Arizona. Western Illinois also dropped 5 spots to #18 after dropping a tight contest to 3rd ranked NDSU. Eastern Illinois also dropped 6 spots to barely cling onto their top 25 ranking coming in at #25 after a surprising loss to Murray State. Albany and Wofford dropped out of the top 25 following losses last week.
The Big Sky, CAA, and MVFC each had 5 teams make the top 25. The SOCON followed with 3.
