The FCS wrapped up an exciting Week 3 of the 2018 college football season which means it’s time for the updated rankings. On Monday, Sept. 17, the American Football Coaches Association unveiled the updated AFCA FCS Coaches’ Poll ahead of Week 4.
North Dakota State tops the updated poll with all 26 first-place votes. James Madison is sitting at No. 2 for the third straight week, while South Dakota State, North Carolina A&T, and Kennesaw State round out the top five.
