  • SIX MVFC TEAMS ARE RANKED IN THE TOP 15, matching a league record that has been achieved five times previously, but never this late in a season.
  • Additionally, the MVFC has eight of its 12 programs in the Top 17 of the Sagarin Ratings, including 7 OF THE TOP 11 among FCS programs.  The MVFC is the top-rated FCS league in the Sagarin Ratings. 
  • Eleven of the league’s 12 programs have SOS ratings 20 or higher (AND 10 OF THE TOP 17), including UNI, which has the FCS nation’s hardest-rated schedule (per Massey).
  • South Dakota State (9-0) is the only FCS unbeaten. Notably, there are only seven FBS programs that are perfect.
  • Three Conference games this week feature ranked MVFC teams playing one another. In the 227 previous such meetings the home team is 129-96 and the higher-ranked team has a 143-83 record. Of the previous 227 meetings, 64 times the meeting involved teams that were both ranked in the Top 10. North Dakota (10/12) and South Dakota (6/6) will mark the 65th all-time meeting of two Top 10 MVFC teams.
