We've made it to week three, and a handful of teams are starting to stake their claim in the top 10.

While both FCS polls agree on South Dakota State, North Dakota State, and Montana State, they diverge throughout most of the 25, with a few exceptions. 

The coaches poll is higher on Villanova than Idaho, at No. 4 and No. 5, with Stats Perform having the opposite. Further down the rankings, one of the biggest discrepancies is Florida A&M at No. 20 in the Coaches Poll, while only receiving votes in the Stats Perform Poll. 

Here's the full top 25 for both polls.
