There was very little movement in the Top 25 this week as the Top 16 teams remained that same. Morningside (Iowa) still sits No. 1 with 17 first-place votes, followed by No. 2 Grand View (Iowa), who earned the remaining first-place vote. Keiser (Fla.) still sits No. 4, followed by No. 5 Concordia (Mich.), whose game at Indiana Wesleyan was cancelled on Saturday.
There is only one Top 25 matchup this coming weekend, and it is for second place in the Mid-States Football Association Mideast League standings as No. 10 Marian (Ind.) travels to No. 11 Saint Francis (Ind.). Marian comes into the matchup having not played a game since March 13 while Saint Francis hasn’t played since March 20.
Only 13 of the Top 25 teams this week will be in action during the final weekend of the regular season. One of those is No. 6 College of Idaho who will travel to Carroll (Mont.) hoping to complete an undefeated regular season and win the Frontier Conference.
