North Carolina A&T Takes Over Top Spot in FCS ADD'S HBCU SPORTS REPORT Top Ten Poll; Tuskegee Remains No. 1 in Division II Poll

By ADD SEYMOUR JR.

Tennessee State's first lost of the season and North Carolina A&T continuing their roll has shaken up the top spots of this week's ADD'S HBCU SPORTS REPORT FCS/Division II HBCU football top ten polls.

Tennessee State (4-1, 1-1 OVC) narrowly fell to Ohio Valley Conference foe Eastern Illinois, one of the top teams in FCS football, last Saturday while North Carolina A&T (4-1, 3-0 MEAC) easily took care of Norfolk State to claim the top spot in this week's poll.

In Division II football, Tuskegee (6-0, 4-0 SIAC) continues their dominant season after defeating Morehouse last Saturday and remaining at the top of the poll.  Tuskegee jumped up to No. 5 among all of the nation's Division II football teams.

One of the top movers in either poll is surprising Clark Atlanta (4-2, 3-2 SIAC), a team that has won three in a row and gets ready for a homecoming contest against Benedict this weekend.
