AFCA drops Cricket Celebration Bowl and HBCU National Champions Florida A&M University Rattlers from #5 to #10 in final poll

Only Two Team ended the season as Champions - SDSU and FAMU. Florida A&M is #2 in FCS at 12-1 with one FBS lost to USF. The stats don't lie. You get no credit for losing to other FCS teams in polling, nor do you move up in the polls with a lost.

After winning back-to-back National Championships, South Dakota State finishes the season at No. 1️⃣ in the AFCA FCS Coaches Poll.
