Ferris State retains the top spot in this week's FloCollege D2 Top 25 Rankings. The Bulldogs crushed Lake Erie over the weekend, despite giving up the first six points of the game. FSU went on a 63-point run to end the game. 

Harding and Slippery Rock also played their first games of the season, both securing wins. Although Slippery Rock was not completely convincing in putting away Franklin Pierce, they stay within the Top 5. 

Notable movements up the Top 25 include Minnesota State up from No. 10 to No. 7  last week and Michigan Tech from No. 24 to No. 15. Teams that dropped down the Top 25 include UIndy (No. 24), CSU Pueblo (No. 23), and Valdosta State (No. 11).
