(STATS) -- Its highly impressive that Jacksonville State has not lost to a conference opponent or against a non-FBS opponent during the regular season under third-year coach John Grass.But the Gamecocks, last years FCS national runners-up, cant help but have the postseason in the back of their thoughts while they continue to dominate opponents.The Gamecocks (7-1) head into November on a strong note and with the No. 2 ranking in the STATS FCS Top 25. They only trail Sam Houston State, which held the top ranking for the third straight week on Monday.Its a good sign for Jacksonville State when Grass says, I dont think we can play much better, as he did after a 47-14 victory over Eastern Illinois this past Saturday. It came against the most recent Ohio Valley Conference program to beat the Gamecocks, something their seniors probably remembered from 2013 while they raised their conference win streak to an FCS-high 21 games. They have beaten 28 straight non-FBS teams in the regular season, losing only to Michigan State, Auburn and LSU.Today was just a great team win, Grass said after quarterback Eli Jenkins accounted for three touchdowns and running back Josh Clemons scored twice.Jacksonville State received 15 of the 142 first-place votes in the national media poll.Sam Houston State (8-0) collected the most with 102 after the nations highest-scoring team had its season-high point total in a 66-17 non-conference win over Texas Southern. Coach K.C. Keelers Bearkats are tied for first place in the Southland Conference.The top six teams remained unchanged in the poll -- Eastern Washington (7-1) sitting third followed by North Dakota State (7-1), The Citadel (8-0) and Richmond (7-1). Eastern Washington beat Big Sky Conference rival Montana 35-16 and North Dakota State defeated Missouri Valley Football Conference rival Northern Iowa 24-20. The Citadel continued their best start in program history by topping East Tennessee State 45-10 in the Southern Conference.Richmond was idle this past weekend, but the Spiders were happy to rest up for Saturdays showdown against the CAA Football rival sitting right behind them, No. 7 James Madison (7-1). The Dukes, who hold a slight lead in the conferences crowded title race, routed Rhode Island 84-7 -- the most points scored by an FCS team this season.Charleston Southern (5-2), Chattanooga (8-1) and Villanova (6-2) completed the Top 10.MEAC leader North Carolina A&T (7-1) moved up one spot to No. 11 followed by Western Illinois (6-2), South Dakota State (5-3), Cal Poly (6-2), Youngstown State (6-2), North Dakota (7-2), Central Arkansas (7-1), Coastal Carolina (6-2), Montana (5-3) and Samford (6-2).Rounding out the Top 25 were Grambling State (5-1); New Hampshire (6-3), which re-entered after a six-week absence; Harvard (6-1); newcomer Lehigh (7-2), the Patriot League leader; and Stony Brook (5-3).Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State fell from the Top 25, and a season-high 11 FCS conferences were represented in it, led by the CAA with five.A national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries select the STATS FCS Top 25.

Charvarius Ward Super Bowl Jersey .com) - The Montreal Canadiens will try to halt their longest losing streak of the season when they host the struggling New York Islanders in tonights clash at the Bell Centre. http://www.thechiefsshoponline.com/Youth-Len-Dawson-Chiefs-Jersey/ . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings.

Reggie Ragland Super Bowl Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July.LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas coach David Beaty is about as Texan as it gets, from his subtle drawl to his childhood days in Wylie, a decade spent coaching high schools and assistant stints at Rice and Texas A&M.Yet unlike his players from the Lone Star State, Beaty insists theres nothing special about facing the Longhorns.When youre playing those schools that maybe they went to camp at or maybe got recruited or didnt get recruited by, there is probably some emotion. Plus the affiliation with that state, Beaty said, but from my standpoint, its never really been like that. Im just a fan of football, period.Still, Beaty does have a unique understanding of the pressure for those involved with the Longhorns -- the pressure that has pushed their own coach, Charlie Strong, firmly onto the hot seat.Texas (5-5, 3-4 Big 12) can become bowl-eligible by beating the Jayhawks (1-9, 0-7) on Saturday, but even that might not be enough to save Strongs job. The decision is expected to be made after the season.To his credit, Strong has remained diplomatic about his future.Theres no excuses. The losses are mounting, he said, and there are games that we should win, and we had our opportunities there and we didnt win them. But we still have a football team still competing and still playing hard, and thats what you like to see happen.It has been a season of near-misses for both teams.Last week was no exception.The Jayhawks led Iowa State deep into the third quarter before falling, 31-24. Texas spent the entire fourth quarter chasing the go-ahead touchdown in a 24-20 loss to West Virginia .That leaves both teams even more desperate heading into Saturday. Here are some things to watch:BOWLS MATTERThe Longhorns are accustomed to playing in big games, but even a less-heralded bowl game would be a positive step for a program that went 5-7 and missed out on the postseason last year.I watched a few of them. I was just really too, kind of upset to even watch a lot of them, Texas safety P.J. Locke said of the bowl season. I just watched a few of them, maybe the national championship and mayybe a few others, and that was it, though.ddddddddddddNARROW DEFEATSThe loss to West Virginia was hardly the only close call for the Longhorns, who lost by a touchdown to California, six points to Oklahoma and a field goal to Kansas State. If those games go the other direction, perhaps Strongs job security looks a little different.Its definitely frustrating, Texas wide receiver Collin Johnson said, and at the same time its encouraging because we know we can compete with anybody. Weve just got to just pull it together. Were so close, and weve just got to keep working and building off of what weve been doing.AILING JAYHAWKSBeaty said linebacker Marcquis Roberts will not return this season because of a shoulder injury and defensive end Anthony Olobia is out with a season-ending Achilles injury. Both seniors would have been playing their final game at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.AS FOR KINNERKansas running back Keaun Kinner was also hurt against Iowa State, taking a wicked shot that left him with a bruised rib. But the Jayhawks are hopeful he will be able to play.He looked good in practice, Beaty said, so I feel good about him. I think hes going to be OK. We really need him to be OK. He ran really well the other night.SENIOR DAYKinner should be among the seniors playing their final home game, along with safety Fish Smithson, offensive lineman DAndre Banks and others. Many were recruited to Kansas by Charlie Weis, went through interim Clint Bowen and wrapped up their careers with their third head coach.The big thing for these guys, and weve been talking about it from the beginning, is the foundation that were laying here, Beaty said, regardless whether we were a bowl team or a team that was still doing foundational work. Understanding that each individual day was going to be basically a step in the right direction for the future of our program.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.
