VALDOSTA — For the first time in a month and a half, Valdosta State is ranked.The Blazer football team moved back into the American Football Coaches' Association's Top 25 Poll, released Monday morning. VSU is ranked 24th.
Gulf South Conference champion West Alabama, who secured at least a share of the GSC title with a win over Delta State on Saturday, also moved back into the Top 25; the Wolves are ranked 21st.
Seven Top 25 teams lost this past weekend, opening the door for reshuffling in this week's poll. The three spots remained the same, with Colorado State-Pueblo remaining as the nation's top-ranked team. Winston-Salem state (N.C.) is ranked second, followed by New Haven (Conn.).
