After beating Duquesne 43-17 in Week 5, Delaware Football jumped two spots in the FCS Coaches poll this week and is now the highest-ranked team from the CAA. 

The Blue Hens routed the Dukes at home on Saturday as quarterback Ryan O’Connor threw for 347 yards and four touchdowns on 28-of-40 passing. Delaware found itself trailing 17-15 at one point before reeling off 27 unanswered points. 

Delaware hosts North Carolina A&T this week. 

While the Blue Hens were big risers in the latest poll, William & Mary, which suffered its second straight loss last week, dropped to No. 12. The Tribe led early against Virginia of the ACC, but eventually fell 27-13. W&M was ranked No. 9 last week after having not dropped out of the top five in the previous weeks. 

Week 6 was a fun one!
