Maine football creeps toward top-25
The Maine football team got 70 votes in the "Others receiving votes" section of the Sports Network FCS poll this week following a 20-0 shutout over Northeastern.
Maine was the third team mentioned in that section following Texas State (127 votes) and South Dakota State (95).
It's no top-25 ranking - they'll likely need to beat a ranked team for that - but is a nod for the program.
