No changes to the undefeated list this week! Of the 50 college football teams in Texas, only three remain unbeaten as the purple trio of Hardin-Simmons, SFA, and Tarleton State enter November with perfect records!

Tarleton State No. 1. Stephen F. Austin No. 2. Both 8 and 0. No two Texas schools had held the top two spots in the FCS poll in any week since 2007 before last week. Tarleton State reached No. 1 for the first time last week. via IronFootball.app @ironfbstats
