Despite being idle in Week Three of the college football season, the Northern Illinois Huskies are still rising in the Associated Press top 25.
To start Week Four, 2-0 NIU are up to #23 from #25 the previous week. The Huskies originally cracked the top 25 after a 16-14 road victory over a Notre Dame team ranked #5, at the time. The Huskies are not ranked in the USA Today LBM Coaches Poll, but did receive 34 votes.
Northern Illinois’ season continues this weekend as they begin Mid-American Conference play against the University of Buffalo. That contest will be a home game for NIU, scheduled for 3:30 PM ET on ESPN+.
