BOONE, N.C. – For a program familiar with making history, these are heady times even for the Appalachian State Mountaineers.
On Sunday, the undefeated (6-0) Mountaineers received a No. 21 ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 poll and the No. 22 spot in the Amway Coaches poll, eclipsing last week's No. 24 ranking in both polls as the highest FBS ranking in Sun Belt Conference and school history.
App State, which was already the first Sun Belt school to be ranked on multiple occasions, becomes the first school in league history to receive a Top 25 ranking in consecutive weeks.
