Northern Iowa |
Northern Iowa keeps beating good teams. A win at SDSU would add another to that list of quality victories. |
1 |
| 2 |  |
Georgia Southern | Georgia Southern was the latest team to break Chattanooga’s heart. Furman won’t put up the same challenge. |

| 5 |  |
Appalachian State | Appalachian State took a week off following their loss and should get back on track with The Citadel this week. |
5 |
| 6 |  |
North Dakota State |
North Dakota State keeps making noise. It was not pretty, but NDSU beat SIU last week to catapult into the top 10. |
13 |
| 7 |  |
New Hampshire | New Hampshire had little trouble knocking off Villanova, but a road game at William & Mary awaits. |

| 8 |  |
Montana | Montana will look to keep pace with Montana State when they host PSU who MSU beat last week. |

Southern Illinois | The Salukis are coming off of another tough loss and Youngstown State will look to make it three in a row. |
17 |
| 17 |  |
Maine | Maine’s only loss this season came against FBS member Pittsburgh. Hosting Rhode Island should be another W. |
NR |
| 18 |  |
William & Mary | W&M got shutout by Delaware and are slipping big time. They will need to get some good wins, starting with UNH. |

Liberty | The Big South title could be on the line this week when Liberty hosts Coastal Carolina on Saturday afternoon. |
22 |

Indiana State | There is no shame in losing at UNI, but Indiana State’s margin for error is now razor thin. |
20 |
| 23 |  |
South Carolina State | SCSU did not look good in their victory over NCCU. They need to play better before NSU takes control of the MEAC. |
23 |
| 24 |  |
Coastal Carolina | Coastal Carolina keeps hanging around the Big South race and they can be in control if they win at Liberty. |
NR |
| 25 |  |
