The Redbirds advanced five spots to No. 7 in the FCS Coaches
Poll and moved up four spots to No. 8 in The Sports Network FCS
Top 25 following their win over the Penguins. The Redbirds were
previously ranked as high as No. 6 in both polls two weeks ago
and have been ranked for nine-consecutive weeks.
For the eighth-straight week, seven Missouri Valley Football
teams are ranked in the Top 25 in the FCS Coaches Poll and six
MVFC teams are among the Top 25 in the Sports Network rankings.
North Dakota State (9-1, 5-1 MVFC) fell to fourth, after
suffering just its third loss since the start of the 2011 season
for three-time defending FCS National Champion. The biggest jump
in the poll came from Northern Iowa (6-4, 3-3), who jumped eight
spots to No. 12 following the upset over No. 1 North Dakota
State on Saturday.
The Redbirds are back on the road this Saturday, Nov. 15, as
they travel to South Dakota (2-8, 0-6 MVFC). Kickoff at the
Dakota Dome is set for 1 p.m.
