Here's this weeks poll article: http://thefcswedge.com/ags-poll/ags-...-25-results-2/

A few thoughts:

  • JSU falling to #26 snapped their 78 week streak in the AGS top 25. The last time they weren't in the top 25 was week 12 of 2013. They missed the top 25 by a single point. Every vote counts!
  • For all the flack the CAA got for underperforming in the playoffs last year they've got 7 teams in the top 25 right now and looks like they'll get at least 5 bids again.
  • There was some interesting 2-4 spot movement in the middle of the poll (like Central Arkansas moving up 3 spots on a bye for example) but if you look at the point totals they weren't much different from last week, it's just teams are bunched pretty tightly in that #9-#13 range with only 65 points separating them.
  • A couple traditional powers are on the rise as Villanova is at their highest ranking since early 2015 and Montana is at their highest ranking since early 2016.
  • NDSU was #1 for the 21st consecutive poll breaking their own record for most consecutive weeks at #1 set from mid-2012 through the end of 2013 (they were #2 briefly in the 2014 preseason poll before reclaiming the top spot in week 1).
