Eagles move up in both coaches and media polls
Posted: Nov 04, 2024

KANSAS CITY, Mo.- Carson-Newman football moved up three spots in both AFCA and D2Football.com polls, both organizations released Monday

Carson-Newman moved to 22nd in the D2Football.com poll and a tie for 21st in the AFCA poll.  

The South Atlantic Conference has three teams ranked. Lenoir-Rhyne, which lost to Wingate on Saturday, dropped into a tie with the Eagles in the coaches poll. The Bears fell out of the D2Football.com poll.  

Wingate, whom C-N defeated earlier in the season, is now 25th in the coaches poll and vaulted to 18th in the media poll.

This is Carson-Newman's 150th week ranked since the year 2000 by either D2Football.com or the AFCA.  Carson-Newman has been nationally ranked more than any other league institution since the turn of the century.  

 C-N was ranked in the month of September (outside of a preseason poll) for the first time since 2014. Carson-Newman has been ranked for seven weeks this season, the most since C-N was ranked in nine polls in the 2014 season. 

C-N will be in action Saturday at 1 p.m. against Tusculum.  Pregame coverage begins at noon with the AEC Tailgate Show on Joy 620 (WRJZ-AM, Knoxville) and online at cneagles.com/live. A video stream is available with a subscription to FloSports at cneagles.com/FloFB.
