WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina -- Winston-Salem State is creeping closer to No. 1 in Division II football.
The 7-0 Rams jumped a spot to No. 2 on Monday in the American Football
Coaches Association poll. Colorado State-Pueblo moved up a spot to No. 1 after
Pittsburg State, last season's D-II national champion, lost 31-21 to Northwest
Missouri State on Saturday.
Until Monday, no CIAA team had been higher than No. 3 in the poll, which was
started in 2000.
"It's a great honor for the university and for the alumni and our fans,"
Coach Connell Maynor of the Rams said. "And it's nice to be the highest-ranking
CIAA team ever in the poll's history, but we also know our work isn't done."
The Rams are coming off their fourth straight CIAA blowout — 56-37 against
St. Augustine's. Over the last four games, they have outscored their CIAA
opponents 189-53. WSSU will play Livingstone in its homecoming game Saturday at
Bowman Gray Stadium.
