KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The final edition of the STADIONIC NAIA Football Selection Committee Top 15 was released Tuesday afternoon and Benedictine Football remained locked to No. 3.

The Ravens finished off the regular season on Saturday with a 48-0 win over Missouri Baptist University to lock up the Heart South title and an automatic berth into the 2026 NAIA Football Championship Series.

While the Ravens held their position, the two teams featured above them flipped this week. College of Idaho earned the final No. 1 regular-season spot while St. Thomas (Fla.) moved to No. 2. 

Morningside at No. 4 and Montana Tech at No. 5 remained the same this week behind the Ravens to round out the top five in this week's poll.

As the Ravens await the Nov. 15 NAIA FCS Selection Show, they will enter the bye week ranked third in the NAIA in first downs (278), fourth in total points (478) and seventh in total offense (4,816 yards). They als prank sixth in time of possession and are fifth in scoring defense (12.8 points per game).

In addition to Benedictine, Grand View University also represents the Heart of America Athletic Conference this week. The Vikings are ranked No. 8 after clinching the Heart North title this past Saturday with a win over St. Ambrose University.
