On the week eight edition of the Ultimate HBCU Sports Division II Football Poll, there are no changes as the top five teams all made it out of the weekend unscathed.
However, there are wholesale changes as the bottom of the rankings with all the teams ranked 7-10 in last week’s poll taking losses.
Making an appearance for the first time is Morehouse who is currently riding a three-game win streak (longest since 2021), following a 31-7 homecoming victory over Lane.
