Seven teams in last week’s top 25 took week 11 losses which gave the AGS Poll a good shuffle as we move towards the end of the regular season. Idle North Dakota State maintained its tenuous hold on the #1 spot coming in just above Montana State. South Dakota State, UC Davis (who banked a big win at Montana), and South Dakota also maintained their spots at #3-#5, respectively.
Leading the charge up the poll this week were Richmond and Villanova who each moved up 3 spots to #9 and #10, respectively. East Tennessee State and Harvard also moved up 3 spots each to #21 and #22, respectively, taking advantage of losses by teams in front of them. Northern Arizona got back into the top 25 coming in at #23. Duquesne made the first appearance by an NEC team in the AGS Top 25 since their last appearance in 2021 coming in at #24. Eastern Kentucky also made their first appearance in the top 25 since 2022 rounding it out at #25.
The teams falling this week were headlined by Southeast Missouri State who plummeted 8 spots down to #14 after a surprising loss to Lindenwood. Western Carolina, Central Arkansas, and North Dakota all fell out of the top 25 after taking week 11 losses. For North Dakota it snapped a program record streak of 34 straight appearances in the AGS Top 25.
