WACO, Texas – After enduring its first loss of the season over the weekend, the UIndy football team fell seven spots to No. 22 in this week’s AFCA DII Coaches Poll. The Greyhounds are coming off a tight 28-24 loss to in-region Saginaw Valley last Saturday.
UIndy has now appeared in the top 25 for 30 consecutive weeks dating, back to week 1 of the 2022 season. It remains the lone GLVC school in the poll, with fellow-Super-Region 3-powers Harding and Grand Valley State continuing to hold on to the top two spots.
