  3. Alcorn State Braves (2-2, 1-0 SWAC)

NCCU slid down the rankings from No. 2 to No. 5. Prairie View, Alcorn State, and FAMU each improved one spot. Previously unranked NC A&T and Southern returned to the rankings at No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.

Other teams are dropping out of the poll were the South Carolina State Bulldogs (1-3, 0-0 MEAC) after suffering a 50-10 defeat at the hands of the SEC's South Carolina Gamecocks. Pine-Bluff continued its 3-game losing streak as the Jaguars pounced on the Golden Lions and won 59-3.

Most of the SWAC and MEAC teams will be conference games for the next few weeks, and divisional rankings will change from wins and losses.
