Not a lot of shakeup this week in my STATS.com FCS top 25 media poll. Big non-conference matchup for North Dakota State this week at nationally-ranked Delaware. There's a definite separation from the top four to the rest of the group, with Montana and Central Arkansas making a bid to be a part of that conversation.

  2. James Madison (1-1)

  3. South Dakota State (1-1)

  4. Eastern Washington (1-1)

  5. Montana (2-0)

  6. Central Arkansas (2-0)

  7. Montana State (1-1)

  8. Weber State (1-1)

  9. Illinois State (1-1)

  10. UC Davis (1-1)
