Up three spots...

The Texans have moved up three spots to No. 16 in the national AFCA poll (the official poll for NCAA Division II).

Nine of the Top 25 teams are in our region (Super Region 4), and six of them are in the Top 10... Top 9 actually.

This is a tough region that got tougher when Nebraska-Omaha joined the MIAA and we dropped the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) only to pick up the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC). The GNAC, however, doesn't have enough teams to get an earned access bid to the playoffs, so one of their teams has be ranked in the Top 6 in the region to get in no matter what. However, Central Washington is ranked No. 8, and they are members of the GNAC.

Here is the poll release.

What do you think? How is this ranking in line with how you feel Tarleton should be ranked? Let us know in the comment section.
