RICHMOND, Va. (October 27, 2025) – The latest Stats Perform and AFCA FCS Top 25 polls showed little change this week, with three CAA Football teams still ranked among the top 13 in the nation.

Monmouth (7-1), which picked up a 28-10 victory at Hampton last Saturday, remained at No. 9 in the AFCA poll and No. 10 in the Stats poll. The Hawks are riding a five-game winning streak as they head back on the road to Bryant this week.

Villanova (6-2), which defeated UAlbany, 29-16, last week for its 20th consecutive home win, stayed at No. 11 in the Stats rankings and edged up to No. 11 in the AFCA rankings. The Wildcats have a bye this Saturday.

Rhode Island (7-2) moved up one spot to No. 12 in the AFCA poll and stayed at No. 13 in the Stats poll following a 38-17 victory over Bryant last Saturday. The Rams, who have won 13 straight games at Meade Stadium, have a bye this week.

New Hampshire (5-4) received votes in the Stats poll following its 34-24 win over William & Mary. The Wildcats also have a bye this week.
