Five in MVFC Ranked This Week, Guins at 20
Five different MVFC schools are ranked in top-25 polls this week. Last year, the league established a record on Sept. 29 as 8 of 10 teams were ranked. CAA Football holds the FCS record, at nine, in 2011.

3 MVFC Teams in Top 6
 For the third time this season and fifth time in league history, three MVFC teams are ranked in the Top 6. Notably, the four previous occurrences all were in September.

Fab Five
 Five Missouri Valley Football Conference schools have been ranked in the same top-25 poll 10 times this year, and 50 times in league history. In the past three-plus seasons, it has happened 33 times, including 24-straight weeks dating back to last year.

6-Ranked Streak Ends
 The league saw its string of consecutive weeks with six ranked teams end this week. The MVFC has had six teams ranked 25 times in its history, including a string of 21-straight weeks (including 12-straight weeks in 2014 and the first nine weeks this year.) The other four weeks in which six MVFC teams were in the Top 25 during the same week was in 2008.

Ranked vs. Ranked
 There have been 139 games in league history in which two MVFC teams ranked in the Top 25 played one another (including 13 already this year). Of those 139 games, 33 times the meeting involved teams that were both ranked in the Top 10 at the same time. Six of those 33 top-10 meetings occurred in the playoffs. Of the 139 previous ranked vs. ranked games, the home team is 82-56 (with one neutral-site game), while the higher-ranked team is 81-58.
