Saints move to #4 in NAIA Football Poll

Font size:

Just like Elvis Presley this week's NAIA top 25 football poll is “all shook up” with 23 of the 25 teams changing position from last week.

After falling from first to fifth with the loss to Eastern Oregon at Nelson Stadium, Carroll's back to number four in the nation with their 35-13 rout of Montana Western. The rest of the rankings look like this. Saint Xavier hangs onto first place receiving all 15 first place votes.

Saint Francis remains at number two. Marian and Carroll both move up a spot while last week’s number three, Morningside, falls all the way to eleven with their loss this week.  William Penn rounds out the top 5. The team that beat Carroll, Easter Oregon is at number nine. They were unranked before the big upset two weeks ago.

Rocky moved up to 17 while MSU Northern dropped out of the top 25. Both Montana and Montana State move up in this week's Sports Network top "25" FCS College Football Poll.

The Bobcats climb one spot to number 4 in the nation. The Griz leaped from 12 to 10. The team they beat, Eastern Washington, remains winless but last year’s national champions slip in there at number 22.
