Tuskegee Golden Tigers 20th in latest D2football.com Poll

LIBERTY, Missouri -- The Tuskegee University Golden Tigers find themselves still in the hunt for a playoff berth, and they also find themselves ranked 20th this week in the D2football.com poll released Tuesday afternoon.

The Golden Tigers fell seven spots after their loss to Miles last Saturday, but maintained their spot in the top 25.

Tuskegee (8-2, 4-1 SIAC) is the only SIAC school, as well as the only HBCU, receiving votes in this week's poll. They also join four other teams from the region in the poll this week - West Georgia (sixth, down from first), North Alabama (10th, up from 11th), Valdosta State (16th, up from 19th), and Florida Tech (24th, unranked before last week's upset of then top-ranked West Georgia).

The Golden Tigers have completed their season, and now must wait until Selection Sunday when the NCAA Division II football playoffs are revealed to find out their fate. Currently the Golden Tigers are fifth in the region rankings, placing them on the road in a first-round matchup.
