The Raven football team held firm at No. 6 this week when the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) released its third regular season poll.

Benedictine, coming off a 48-7 win over Peru State College on Saturday, received 249 points in the poll to finish behind Mourningside (Iowa) and Missouri Valley College, who checked in tied at No. 4 with 272 points.

Two other teams from the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC) joined Missouri Valley and Benedictine in the Top 25.

MNU jumped from No. 13 last week to No. 11 this week while Baker University fell from No. 9 to No. 13 after a loss to Missouri Valley.

The Great Plains Athletic Conference, HAAC and Mid-States Football Association Midwest League lead all conferences with four representatives. Nine conferences/independents are represented in this week's Top 25.
