MISSOULA — The top seven teams — including Big Sky Conference members No. 4 Montana, No. 5 Montana State and No. 6 UC Davis — in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 Poll remained in the same order from last week in the new edition of the rankings released Monday.
North Dakota State (6-0), South Dakota State (6-0) and Tarleton State (7-0) are the Nos. 1-, 2- and 3-ranked teams, followed by the Grizzlies (6-0), Bobcats (5-2) and Aggies (5-1). Lehigh (7-0) is ranked seventh. All seven of those teams won by at least 18 points last week.
The Big Sky's other representatives in the top 25, Northern Arizona (4-3) and Idaho (2-4), both fell in the poll. NAU, which suffered a 45-24 loss to No. 6 UC Davis, slid from 14th to 19th, and Idaho, which lost 49-33 to Northern Colorado, fell from 11th to 24th.
