Alcorn State received all but one first-place vote in the coaches poll.
Bethune-Cookman who defeated North Carolina Central 28-26 on the road and Tennessee State both moved up a spot this week to No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, aided by South Carolina State’s 17-3 loss to Furman, which dropped the Bulldogs to No. 5.
Morgan State and Norfolk State both won on the road – the Bears defeating Delaware State 26-6 and the Spartans coming from behind to defeat Howard 15-12 – and moved into the top 10, MSU at No. 9 and NSU tied for No. 10 with North Carolina Central.
In the media poll, ASU unseats N.C. A&T, who has sat atop the media poll for four of the first five weeks.  It marks the first time this year that the Braves are No. 1 with the media.
South Carolina State fell two spots to No. 5.  Tuskegee lost for the first time this year and fell three spots to No. 8.
