After blowing by Georgia State 56-27 on Saturday night, the Mountaineers are back in the AP Top 25 poll at No. 23. The Mountaineers also moved up two spots to No. 22 in the Amway Coaches Poll.

The Mountaineers (9-1 overall, 5-1 Sun Belt) were four votes away from the AP Top 25 poll last week. They received 154 votes this week.

The AP Top 25 ranking comes days after the Mountaineers became the first Sun Belt team to ever rank in the College Football Playoff rankings at No. 25.

After falling to Notre Dame 52-20, Navy dropped out of the rankings from the No. 21 spot. Cincinnati, Memphis, Boise State and SMU are the ranked Group of Five teams that area ahead of the Mountaineers in the poll.

The Mountaineers face Texas State (3-7 overall, 2-4 Sun Belt) at home at 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 23. It will be Senior Day and Heroes Day at Kidd-Brewer Stadium when the Bobcats come to Boone.

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
