Harvard has demonstrated exceptional performance, winning all seven of its games by at least three touchdowns. This impressive streak has earned the team the No. 9 spot in the latest Stats Perform FCS Top 25 rankings, marking the highest ranking in the program's history.
Alongside their top-10 Stats Perform ranking, Harvard is positioned 13th in the AFCA FCS Coaches’ Poll this week—their best placement in that poll since at least 2011. These advances came after a resounding 31-10 victory over Dartmouth on Saturday, bringing Harvard’s record to an undefeated 7-0.
This season marks the first time Ivy League teams are eligible for the FCS playoffs, adding greater significance to Harvard’s high ranking. The Crimson aim to extend their winning streak to eight games in their upcoming away match against Columbia on Friday night.
