James Madison moved back up a bit to #3 and they were followed by Kennesaw State at #4 and UC Davis, who continues to achieve program best rankings in the AGS Poll, moving up 3 spots to #5.

Weber State used an upset of previously 2nd ranked Eastern Washington to move up 5 spots to #10. Maine and Stony Brook also took advantage of some losses above them to each move 4 spots to come in at #13 and tied at #15, respectively. East Tennessee State cracked the AGS top 25 for the first time in program history moving up 6 spots to #20. Northern Iowa also moved back into the top 25 after a 1 week absence coming in at #23.
