• FloCollege D2 Football Team Of The Week - Week 5

Ferris State sits atop the mountain despite having the week off, but No. 2 Harding has been unstoppable and No. 3 Kutztown's quiet ascent is turning heads, while West Florida and Angelo State are dangerous contenders. 

The middle of the rankings isn't just a list—it's a battlefield, with No. 13 Central Washington and No. 12 Augustana making the biggest moves this week. 

There are 15 undefeated teams in D2 football, mostly known entities like Ferris and Harding. But Post, Benedict, and Frostburg State are all teams to watch. Two more undefeated teams, Walsh and Findlay clash this week, and sitting right outside the Top 25, one of those might show up next week.

No. 25 UNC Pembroke blanked Valdosta State this past weekend as the Blazers precipitously dropped. Slippery Rock, too, have fallen down the rankings, but remains an incredibly dangerous team. 

Here’s where everyone stands as we head into October.
