Hartly, DE – Following a bye week before a televised Thurday night encounter, North Carolina A&T maintained its top spot in the HSRN FCS Football Poll.

In the Division I FCS poll, Grambling State climbed to 2nd pushing Tennessee State to 3rd . Prairie View A&M and Southern complete the top five. South Carolina State and Texas Southern entered the top ten following wins over Florida A&M and Alabama State respectively.

In Division II/NAIA, Tuskegee was a near unanimous choice for the top spot, capturing 11 of 12 first place votes of the HSRN pollsters.

Virginia Union moved into second place after Virginia State’s 35-14 loss to Winston-Salem State. Bowie State moved up to third place followed by Miles, who defeated Morehouse on the road. The WSSU Rams, led by a backup quarterback, picked up their second win of the season and leaped into 5th position.
Benedict improved to 3-1 and entered the top 10 after knocking off Fort Valley State, 28-14.

    Why is NCAT&T still ranked this high in polls when the teams they have played are week. True they beat a lower level 1-A school but then got blowwed the hell out by a lesser Tulsa team the following week but only to be celebrated by all theses black polls. Just like they lost a star Grambling did too against a more powerful Arizona team yet the media and their b.s polls have only punished the best squad in black football and when they finally meet and beat the hell out of AT&t keep your trophy and your rankings.

      There is nothing “lesser” about Tulsa.

    Tell the truth who does at@t ever play because their motto with with broadway is to play as less competition as possible because he is always about wins .
