Football Achieves Highest Stats Perform FCS Top-25 Ranking in Program History

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Football entered the top 10 in the Stats Perform FCS Top 25 on Monday, checking in at a No. 9, while rising two spots in the AFCA FCS Coaches Poll to No. 13. Harvard's Stats Perform ranking is the best in program history and its coaches position is the Crimson's best since at least 2011.
 
The Crimson went from No. 12 to No. 9 in the Stats Perform rankings and from No. 15 to No. 13 in the AFCA poll after it defeated Dartmouth, 31-10, on Saturday. The victory pushed Harvard's record to 7-0 overall and 4-0 in the Ivy League, marks not seen in Cambridge since the 2015 and 2016 campaigns, respectively.
 
Prior to this year, Harvard's top media-poll ranking came in 2004 and 2015, when it was 12th nationally. As for the coaches poll, the Crimson has matched the 2015 squad for the top coaches ranking in recorded history (since 2011).
 
Harvard will take both of its national rankings into Friday night's game at Columbia. Kick-off is slated for 7 p.m. ET, with the conference game airing live on ESPN2.
