Appalachian State University has made history again during its record-setting start in Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) football.
At 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the Sun Belt Conference, the Mountaineers earned their first Top 25 ranking as an FBS member when the newly released Associated Press (AP) Poll on Sunday listed Appalachian State at No. 25.
It’s tied for the highest ranking ever for a Sun Belt team, as Troy’s one-week appearance at No. 25 in the AP Poll during the 2016 season is the only other case of a Sun Belt team being ranked in either poll.
