BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Campbellsville (Ky.) and Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) are ranked for a third straight week in the Stadionic-NAIA National Selection Committee (NSC) Poll, NAIA officials announced Tuesday.

Lindsey Wilson (8-2) holds at No. 9 for a second straight week after beating Bethel (Tenn.) 42-10 last week in Columbia. The Blue Raiders close out the regular season this Saturday, as they travel to Cumberlands (Ky.) in Williamsburg. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET.

Campbellsville remained at No. 10 in the poll this week after a 24-21 home win over Georgetown (Ky.) last Saturday. The win closed out the Tigers' regular season with an 8-1 record.

College of Idaho jumped to the No. 1 spot this week, followed by St. Thomas (Fla.) and Benedictine (Kan.). Morningside (Iowa) and Montana Tech complete the top five.

The NSC Poll -- completed by the committee that selects and seeds the NAIA Football Championship Series -- replaced the coaches' top 25 midseason. The committee uses primary and secondary criteria to rank the top 15 teams. One of those criteria is rankings from the Area Ratings Committees (ARC), represented entirely by coaches throughout that area.

The Mid-South Conference is paired with The Sun Conference and the Appalachian Athletic Conference in the East ARC. St. Thomas is the top-rated team in the East, followed by Lindsey Wilson and Campbellsville. Georgetown (Ky.) is No. 6, Cumberland (Tenn.) is No. 7, and Cumberlands (Ky.) is No. 9 in the East ARC.

This week's NSC Poll is the final poll of the regular season. The ARC standings and seeds for the 2026 NAIA Football Championship Series are scheduled to be announced on Sunday, Nov. 16, on the NAIA's YouTube Channel.
