BOONE, N.C. – App State Football received another accolade in its season of firsts as the College Football Playoff committee placed the Mountaineers at No. 25 in this week's rankings.
App State (8-1) once again achieves something no Sun Belt Conference school had before, becoming the first league school to crack the CFP rankings. The Mountaineers are at No. 24 in this week's Amway Coaches Poll and are one spot shy of an Associated Press Top 25 ranking this week, and two weeks ago their No. 20 ranking in the AP poll was the highest ever by a Sun Belt school.
