1. Grand View (Iowa), 8-0

Grand View remained the top-ranked team in the Netting Professionals NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll with a 21-10 win on the road at Graceland (Iowa), scoring all 21 points in the first half while maintaining an 18-point lead until the 6:02 mark in the fourth quarter. Jackson Waring threw TD passes on all three Viking scores, and the Grand View defense secured the win with a pair of interceptions. The Vikings' final home game kicks off Nov. 8 at Noon, against Culver-Stockton (Mo.).

2. Keiser (Fla.), 8-0

The Seahawks continued to narrow the gap in the poll, claiming two first-place votes this week on the heels of a 42-7 win at Ave Maria (Fla.) last week. In its last two games, Keiser has outscored opponents 89-7. The win over Ave Maria was the 24th-consecutive conference win for the Seahawks, who produced 530 yards of total offense and reached the 40-point mark for the fifth time this season. Jaden Miller ran for 104 yards and three of KU's five rushing touchdowns. The Seahawks will appear in an NAIA-UEN Featured Game this week at 6 p.m. ET, hosting Southeastern (Fla.).

3. Benedictine (Kan.), 8-1

The Ravens picked up their eighth win of the season on Saturday, beating Missouri Valley 66-7. Since the three-point loss to Grand View in the second game of the season, BC has averaged nearly 60 points per game, scoring 66 or more in three of the seven games. In the win over Valley, Benedictine's defense allowed two first downs and just 54 yards of first-half offense, leading 28-0 at the end of the first quarter. A rivalry game is next for BC, on the road at (RV) Baker (Kan.), in an NAIA-UEN Featured Game at 1 p.m. CT. 

4. Friends (Kan.), 9-0

The Falcons returned to a dominant brand of football last week against (RV) Kansas Wesleyan, scoring 21 points in the first and second quarters to lead 42-0 at halftime before tacking on two more touchdowns in the third quarter to put the game further out of reach. The game was played at Equity Bank Park, home of the AA (baseball) Wichita Wind Surge, as K'Vonte Baker accounted for a career-best five TDs, three on the ground and two in the air, running for 118 yards and adding 111 passing yards on two completions, both for scores. Friends is back on campus this week, hosting Sterling (Kan.) at 1 p.m. CT.

5. Montana Tech, 9-0

After offensive outings under 40 points for the first five games of the season, the Orediggers' offense has come to life, including last week at Rocky Mountain (Mont.) in a 42-13 win, marking four consecutive games of 42 or more points. Montana Tech has outscored its last four opponents 191-41, and last week at Rocky, Jarrett Wilson accounted for four touchdowns, throwing two and adding two more on the ground. Rocky Mountain scored the first points of the game on a field goal, snapping a Montana Tech streak that saw the Orediggers lead for the first 483 minutes of the 2025 season. Montana Tech travels to Dickinson State (N.D.), Saturday, at 1 p.m. CT.

6. Dordt (Iowa), 8-0

Dordt stayed perfect but made it back-to-back weeks surviving a scare, this time from Hastings (Neb.), in a 31-26 win for the Defenders on the road. Dordt gave up the first points of the game but quickly answered, and the Defenders were in front to start the second quarter, a lead they didn't let go of the rest of the game. Hastings did make it interesting, scoring to get within five late, but Cole Johnson secured the game for Dordt with an interception deep in Defender territory with 35 seconds remaining. Dordt plays its final home game of the 2025 season Saturday, hosting Concordia (Neb.) at 1 p.m. CT.

7. Marian (Ind.), 8-1

The Knights picked up their eighth win of the season, their eighth consecutive, despite their second-lowest offensive performance of the year in a 28-11 win over St. Francis (Ill.). Keagan La Belle broke the Marian record for single-season touchdowns, scoring three in the game to reach 19 for the season, ending the contest with 148 yards on 27 carries. La Belle's three rushing TDs pushed his career total to 45, now tied with Charles Salary for the Marian career record. The Knights are at home one final time, Saturday, hosting Judson (Ill.) at 1:05 p.m. ET.

8. Carroll (Mont.), 7-1

Carroll got its seventh win of the season but it wasn't without some drama, winning at Southern Oregon, 41-40. The Saints led 20-3 at the end of the first quarter and 27-13 at the half, but 14 Southern Oregon points in the third quarter tied the game, and SOU scored 13 in the fourth, leading 40-33 with 1:48 left in the game. Carroll used a six-play, 42-yard drive that took just 43 seconds to get within one on Kaden Huot's 14-yard touchdown pass to Carson Ochoa, and Gavin Vandenacre hauled in Huot's pass on the ensuing two-point attempt to win it. Carroll puts a six-game win streak on the line in the first of two home games to close the season, hosting the College of Idaho at Noon MT.

9. Lindsey Wilson (Ky.), 7-1

Lindsey was the only top 15 team that didn't win on Saturday, taking a late-season bye week ahead of this week's game in Columbia against (RV) Cumberland (Tenn.). Saturday's game marks the final home game of the season for the Blue Raiders, who finish on tha road, Nov. 15, at Bethel (Tenn.).

10. Morningside (Iowa), 7-2

The Mustangs got their first shutout of the 2025 season at Doane (Neb.), last week, erupting for 515 yards of total offense, including 253 passing yards and four scores from quarterback Zack Chevalier. Defensively, Morningside limited Doane to just 37 rushing yards, and Juven Hudson ran for 132 and a touchdown for Morningside, marking back-to-back wins with the Mustangs outscoring their last two opponents 101-21.
