Below is the D2Football.com Top 25 media poll as of the conclusion of week seven. There were no changes in the Top 10, but there was a lot of shifting in the middle portion of the poll. Additions this week are Benedict, who maintains a perfect 7-0 record, and Newberry who leads the SAC standings at 6-1 overall and 5-1 in the conference. UNC Pembroke and Emory & Henry feel out of the poll.
