KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Montana Tech held steady at No. 6 in the NAIA Football Coaches' Top 25 on Monday, while Carroll College climbed one spot to No. 12.
For the first time in program history, College of Idaho is the sole No. 1-ranked team. The Yotes tied for first in last week's poll.
Following C of I in the rankings are No. 2 Keiser (Fla.), No. 3 Indiana Wesleyan, No. 4 Benedictine (Kan.) and No. 5 Grand View (Iowa). View the complete poll.
C of I (5-0) and Tech (5-1) are the only Frontier Conference teams ranked in the top 10, but Carroll (4-1) is in inching in that direction. The Fighting Saints' lone loss of the season came against Tech, which has only lost to College of Idaho.
