FCS Football Rankings 2025 Week 3: Tennessee Tech Scores Big (Sept. 15)
FCS Football Rankings 2025 Week 3: Tennessee Tech Scores Big (Sept. 15)
See the latest movers and shakers in the FCS football rankings: the most recent AFCA FCS coaches poll and Stats Perform FCS Top 25 are out.

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.
