(KFGO/KNFL) Fresh off its 23-21 win over NDSU on Saturday, South Dakota State is now the top team in both the FCS Coaches Poll, and the STATS Perform Top 25 rankings this week.
The Jackrabbits move up from #3 in the Coaches Poll, and #2 in the STATS Perform rankings.
After its loss to SDSU, NDSU drops to fourth in both rankings this week. The Bison have a bye week before hosting Illinois State on October 29.
UND holds on #20 in the STATS Perform Top 25, while still only receiving votes in the Coaches Poll. The Fighting Hawks will get its chance at top-ranked SDSU on Saturday at the Alerus Center.
