Well, if you prefer the status quo week 11 was not for you with 8 teams previously ranked in the AGS top 25 (and the top 4 in the ORV) losing and all 8 were to teams ranked below them or not at all. Despite the churn below them North Dakota State remained the unanimous #1 team. They were followed by Eastern Washington who moved up to #2 following a convincing win over the UC Davis team that had previously occupied that spot. Kennesaw State and Weber State maintained their #3 and #4 rankings, respectively, that they held last week and South Dakota State moved back into the top 5 at #5.
There wasn’t much for high risers in the top 20 this week since the majority of teams just slid up a spot or three based on losses in front of them but both Towson ad North Carolina A&T moved up 4 spots to #11 and #20, respectively. After that we had a bunch of firsts starting with Indiana State who shot up 10 spots to #22 to make their first appearance in the AGS top 25 since 2016. Furman made it back into the top 25 after being out since week 1 moving up 7 spots to #23. Incarnate Word made it’s first appearance ever in the top 25 shooting up 10 spots to #24 and Montana State also made their first appearance since week 4 rising up 13 spots to come in at #25.
The teams going in the opposite direction were headlined by aforementioned UC Davis who dropped 5 spots down to #7. CAA conference-mates Delaware and Elon dropped 5 and 7 spots to #13 and #14, respectively, after dropping contests to ranked league opponents. Idaho State moved down 7 spots down to #21 after being upset by unranked Cal Poly. Southeast Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Western Illinois, and McNeese (snapping a 20 week streak in the poll) all dropped out of the top 25 after each lost to unranked teams last Saturday.
In terms of conference representation the CAA once again led the way placing 6 teams into the top 25. They were followed by Big sky with 5, the MVFC and SOCON with 3 each, and the Ivy League and Southland with 2 teams each in the top 25. Once again 10 different conference were represented in the top 25.
