The Nicholls State University football team is in a place it hasn’t been in a decade.

And that’s a good thing.


The Colonels made a significant jump in this week’s Football Championship Subdivision Coaches Top 25 Poll, moving up to No. 17 of the 25 teams ranked.

That ranking is the highest Nicholls has been ranked in the poll in 10 years – dating back to the 2007 season.

The Colonels are 6-2 and 5-1 in the Southland Conference.


After beating Incarnate Word on Saturday in Texas, the Colonels leaped six spots in the poll. It was Nicholls’ fourth straight win.

The Colonels are one of four Southland teams ranked in the Top 25 poll.

Central Arkansas is No. 4. Sam Houston State is No. 5 and McNeese is No. 22.


Nicholls will play its home finale on Saturday against Houston Baptist.
