Harvard Football Achieves Program's Highest FCS Ranking
Harvard football continues its dominant streak in the Ivy League, having won all seven games by at least three touchdowns. On Monday, the team reached No. 9 in the latest Stats Perform FCS Top 25 rankings, marking the highest ranking ever in program history.
Strong Performances in Multiple Polls
Alongside the Stats Perform poll, Harvard is ranked 13th in the AFCA FCS Coaches’ Poll, its best position in that ranking since at least 2011. These jumps came after a commanding 31-10 victory over Dartmouth, improving Harvard's record to 7-0.
Standing in the Ivy League
- Harvard is the only undefeated team remaining in the Ivy League.
- Rivals Yale and Penn are both at 5-2.
- Upcoming games include Penn visiting Harvard on November 15 and the 141st edition of “The Game” against Yale in New Haven shortly after.
Significance of the Ranking
This ranking holds additional importance as this season marks the first time Ivy League teams are eligible for the FCS playoffs.
Next Challenge
The Crimson aim to extend their winning streak to eight in an upcoming road game against Columbia on Friday night.
