Presbyterian Moves Into Top Five
CLINTON, S.C. – Fresh off its convincing 28-7 victory over Carson-Newman last Saturday, Presbyterian moved up two spots and into the top five in the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional rankings to No. 5.
The NCAA Regional Ranking is a weekly poll of the top 12 teams in the four different regions in NCAA Division II football. The top six teams in the last region poll will participate in the NCAA Division II playoffs. However, earned access to the playoffs can be gained by a conference if a conference representative finishes in the top 10 of the final regional rankings.
The 6-3 Blue Hose are one of three ranked South Atlantic Conference teams.
Newberry (9-0) remains at No. 1 in the fourth NCAA Southeast Regional football rankings, while Wingate (7-2) stayed in fourth after its 24-8 win over Catawba.
Presbyterian will take on Catawba at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4 at Shuford Stadium.
