Harvard Football Achieves No. 9 in FCS Poll
Harvard football continues its impressive season, entering the latest Stats Perform FCS Top 25 rankings at No. 9, marking the highest ranking ever in program history. The Crimson have won all seven games this season by at least three touchdowns.
Performance and Rankings
Alongside the Stats Perform poll, Harvard also secured the 13th spot in the AFCA FCS Coaches’ Poll, their best position in that ranking since at least 2011. This rise followed a dominant 31-10 victory over Dartmouth, improving Harvard’s record to 7-0.
Standing in the Ivy League
The Crimson remain the Ivy League’s only unbeaten team, while archrivals Yale and Penn both hold a 5-2 record. Harvard has yet to face these teams this season:
- Penn will visit Harvard on November 15.
- Harvard will then travel to New Haven for the 141st edition of “The Game.”
Significance of the Ranking
This ranking is particularly notable as Ivy League teams are eligible for the FCS playoffs for the first time this season.
Upcoming Match
The Crimson aim to extend their winning streak to eight during an away game against Columbia on Friday night.
