WACO, Texas – Coming off a convincing win over then-23rd-ranked Truman over the weekend, the UIndy football team (8-1, 6-1 GLVC) moved up one spot to No. 16 in this week's AFCA DII Coaches Poll, released Monday. The Greyhounds made their 36th straight appearance in the top 25, upping their own program record for consecutive time spent in the national rankings.
 
UIndy's one-spot climb can be attributed primarily to Grand Valley State's 21-16 loss at rival Ferris State Saturday. The Lakers slipped from 14th to 19th as a result, while Ferris remained at No. 2 – the highest ranked squad in Super Region Three. Meanwhile, Truman stayed in the rankings despite their loss, coming in at No. 25.

The Greyhounds wrap up the regular season with an out-of-conference home game versus Lake Erie Saturday, Nov. 16. The early kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET.
