SPARTANBURG, S.C. (AP) — North Dakota State is no longer ranked No. 1 after losing last weekend on a last-second touchdown to South Dakota State.
The Bison fell to fourth in the coaches’ FCS poll this week. Sam Houston State moved up one spot to take over the poll’s top spot. Jacksonville State and Eastern Washington are ranked second and third respectively.
South Dakota State moved up three spots in the poll, to 11th. North Dakota is ranked No. 16, moving up two spots.
Despite the setback, North Dakota State would still make the FCS playoffs barring a huge collapse. The Jackrabbits also likely punched their playoff ticket in beating the top-ranked FCS team on the road.
