Another round of the 2025 FCS college football season is behind us and with it, the release of the most recent AFCA FCS Coaches Poll and Stats Perform FCS Top 25. The leaderboards this week show shake-ups throughout but no teams dropped out in either poll which also meant no new teams.

The biggest mover was Tennessee Tech, jumping up the most spots after defeating Davidson 72-14.

While up 16-7 at the half, North Dakota was eyeing a huge ranked win against Montana in Big Sky Country on Saturday. 

However, the Grizzly showed up in the second half in front of their nearly 30,000 fans. Sophomore quarterback Keali'i Ah Yat completed the fourth and 19 conversion to put the Griz in scoring position before a touchdown pass from 28-yards out would set them up for the win with less than three minutes remaining. 

It was good enough to move them up to No. 5 in both.

A few teams added another mark to the L column this week and found themselves taking a slight dip after taking on FBS opponents like No. 2 Penn State vs Villanova or Abilene Christian vs TCU, who received votes in both the latest AFCA coaches poll and AP Top 25. 

Upcoming play shifts heavily to in-conference opponents, including a big CAA match-up between No. 11 Villanova and No. 18 Monmouth coming live to FloCollege at 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, Sept. 20

After three weekends of football, see the latest FCS football rankings below as the 2025 season continued into mid-September.
