AGS Poll: Week 8 Top 25 Results

Multiple ranked vs ranked matchups in week 8 meant there were 7 losses amongst last week’s AGS Top 25 that shook up this week’s set of rankings quite a bit. South Dakota State and Sacramento State maintained their positions at #1 and #2, respectively, for the second straight week. Montana State moved up a spot to #3 after a thrilling win over Weber State. Idle North Dakota State moved up a spot to #4 and Weber State dropped two spots down to #5.

The teams moving up this week were led once again by Idaho who climbed another 5 spots to #13 as their winning streak reached 5. Rhode Island moved up 4 spots to #18 after winning a 7-overtime thriller over Monmouth. New Hampshire climbed back into the top 25 coming in at #19 after starting their CAA schedule 5-0 and hammering Elon last Saturday.

As for teams going in the other direction Mercer fell 5 spots to #14 after getting dropped by #7 Chattanooga. Southern Illinois tumbled 7 spots down to #21 after being upset by South Dakota. Their MVFC league-mate North Dakota fell 6 spots, barley hanging in at #25, after losing to top ranked SDSU. Elon dropped out of the top 25 after losing their 2nd straight game.

In terms of conference representation the Big Sky and CAA led the way each placing 5 teams into the top 25. They were followed by the MVFC and SOCON with 4 each and the OVC, Patriot League, and Southland who each put 2 teams into the top 25. 8 conferences were represented in the top 25 this week.

AGS Poll: Week 7 Top 25 Results

After a few pretty calm weeks we finally got the AGS Top 25 shook up a bit with 2 losses amongst the top 3 teams last week and 5 losses overall amongst last week’s top 25. For the first time this season there was a change at the top as South Dakota State assumed the #1 spot following their road victory at previous #1 NDSU. Sacramento State moved up a couple spots to #2 – their highest ranking ever in the AGS Poll. They were followed by Big Sky brethren Weber State and Montana State who moved up to #3 and #4, respectively. North Dakota State slid down to #5 following their loss to SDSU.

Other teams on the rise this week were led by Idaho who shot up 12 spots to come from the “others receiving votes” last week all the way up to #18 after upsetting previously #3 ranked Montana in Missoula. This is the Vandals first appearance in the AGS Top 25 since the spring 2021 season. Rhode Island also used a big win over CAA league-mate Elon to get back into the top 25 coming in at #22. Other than those two and the aforementioned Weber State (who moved up 3 spots) nobody moved up more than 2 spots from last week’s poll.

The teams moving down were headlined by Montana who dropped 5 spots to #8 following their aforementioned loss to Idaho. Elon took a 7-spot tumble to #21 after their loss to Rhode Island. Villanova dropped out of the top 25 after losing to Richmond on Saturday ending their streak of top 25 appearances at 45 (started in week 1 of the 2019 season). Eastern Kentucky also fell back out of the top 25 after dropping a game to Sam Houston on Saturday.

In terms of conference representation the Big Sky and CAA led the way each placing 5 teams into the top 25. They were followed by the MVFC and SOCON with 4 each and the Patriot League, OVC, and Southland who each put 2 teams into the top 25. There were 8 conferences represented in this week’s AGS Top 25.

AGS Poll: Week 6 Top 25 Results

Week 6 is in the books and a couple interesting results shook things up a bit amongst the AGS Top 25 but things stayed relatively calm once again.

Sacramento State and Montana State maintained their positions at #4 and #5, respectively.

William & Mary led the charge of teams moving up rising 6 spots to #11 after a huge win over CAA heavyweight Delaware. The only other team from last week’s top 25 moving up more than 2 spots was idle Richmond who moved up 3 spots to #20 due to some losses in front of them. Furman moved up 5 spots to get back into the top 25 at #23 and Fordham made their first appearance in the AGS Top 25 since the 2017 preseason poll coming in at #24.

As for teams moving down Delaware dropped 6 spots to #12 following their aforementioned loss to William & Mary. Southeastern Louisiana plummeted 11 spots to #22 after being upset by Texas A&M-Commerce who is in the first year of their D1 transition. Missouri State and Eastern Washington each fell out of the top 25 after each took their 4th straight loss on Saturday.

In terms of conference representation, the CAA led the way placing 5 teams into the top 25. They were followed by the Big Sky, MVFC, and SOCON with 4 each and the Patriot League, OVC, and Southland with 2 teams each in the top 25. Once again 9 conferences were represented in the AGS Top 25.
