CAA Football topped all FCS conferences with six nationally ranked teams in the latest Stats Perform and AFCA Coaches FCS Top 25 polls that were released on Monday.

William & Mary (7-1) rose to No. 8 in the Stats Perform poll and No. 9 in the AFCA Coaches poll after edging nationally ranked Rhode Island, 31-30, last Saturday. It’s the highest ranking since 2015 for the Tribe, which makes the short trip to Hampton this week.

Richmond (6-2) jumped to No. 14 in both polls following a 31-21 victory at Maine last week. The Spiders host nationally ranked New Hampshire on Saturday.

Delaware (6-2) slid to No. 16 in the AFCA poll and No. 18 in the Stats poll following a 27-7 setback at Elon last week. The Blue Hens entertain Monmouth on Saturday afternoon.

New Hampshire (6-2) was off last Saturday, but climbed to No. 17 in the Stats poll and No. 21 in the AFCA poll. The Wildcats travel to No. 14 Richmond in a key CAA contest on Saturday.

Rhode Island (5-3) dropped to No. 22 in the AFCA poll and No. 23 in the Stats Perform rankings after it narrow 31-30 loss at William & Mary last Saturday. The Rams entertain Maine this week.

Elon (6-3) moved back into both polls after knocking off Delaware, 27-7, last week, slotting at No. 19 in the Stats rankings and No. 23 in the AFCA rankings. The Phoenix are back at home on Saturday against UAlbany.

Villanova (5-3), which defeated Hampton 24-10 last week, continued to receive votes in both polls this week.
