Prairie View A&M picked up a rivalry win over Texas Southern in Week 1. 💪
They’re just outside the Top-5 this week.

The computer model values it, but a 1-point win against Texas Southern isn’t enough to place in the top-5 yet. A strong victory over UTRGV could do it.

Tennessee State’s #4 spot comes from more than Week 1. 🐯

They were Big South/OVC co-champs in 2024 (9–4, playoff berth) and that baseline strength carries weight in our model.

Add in a Week 1 win over NC A&T, and TSU belongs in the Top-5.

Yes, Alabama State is in the Top-5 despite being 0–1.

That’s because #ASU’s Andrew Body accounted for 431 total yards and 5 combined touchdowns.

The computer model rewards teams with players who keep their team competitive against tougher opponents.

#NCCU edges Jackson State slightly this week because their Strength of Schedule is stronger (Southern + New Hampshire > Hampton). Margin matters, but SoS and last year’s baseline weigh heavier in the model calculating the top-5.
