As the regular season for Division II enters its final week, the rankings have finally stabilized, which has not been the trend throughout the year.

Only one team fell out of the rankings, which is also unusual.

Here's what to know. 

Can Valdosta State Be Stopped?

  • The Blazers easily passed their biggest road test of the year - As Valdosta State faced Delta State this past Saturday, it appeared to have the potential of being a trap game. However, the Blazers came in hot from the start of the game and secured a 49-21 win in Cleveland, MS, ending the Statesmen's playoff hopes. Although Valdosta State will be home for its final game of the year, it faces a ranked West Florida team and a talented quarterback in Marcus Stokes.

Central Washington Football Is Back In The Top 25

  • Dominant win from Central Washington gets them ranked again - Last week, the Wildcats fell to Angelo State when the Rams were unranked, dropping them from No. 17 to outside the top 25. However, due to Emporia State losing again, Central Washington has returned to the AFCA coaches poll. 

Notable Games Of Matchups Including Ranked Teams

  • Big games for Week 12 - The final week of the regular season features three games between ranked teams. Those games are No. 16 West Florida vs. No. 1 Valdosta State, No. 3 Kutztown vs. No. 17 California, and No. 19 Carson-Newman vs. No. 23 Wingate.
