There are seven undefeated teams remaining in the FCS as the season begins its second half. The top four to five teams in my poll seemed to have separated themselves from the rest of the country.
There were a couple of head scratching losses, from New Hampshire to Stony Brook and Illinois State getting blown out by Southern Illinois. A new Valley team enters the poll as Northern Iowa was dominant on the road at South Dakota State.
