Harvard Football Reaches No. 9 in FCS Poll
Harvard football continues its impressive run, capturing victories in all seven games by margins of at least three touchdowns. This dominant streak has propelled the Crimson to the No. 9 position in the latest Stats Perform FCS Top 25 rankings — the highest placement in the program’s history.
In addition, Harvard secured the No. 13 spot in the AFCA FCS Coaches Poll, marking its top ranking in that survey since 2011. The rise came after last Saturday’s decisive 31–10 win over Dartmouth, extending Harvard’s record to 7–0.
The Crimson stand as the Ivy League’s lone unbeaten team, while traditional rivals Yale and Penn follow with 5–2 records. Upcoming matchups include a home game against Penn on November 15 and the historic 141st edition of “The Game” versus Yale in New Haven.
Ivy League teams will be eligible for the FCS playoffs this season for the first time.
Harvard aims to keep its perfect record intact with an eighth straight win on the road against Columbia this Friday night.
