Coastal Carolina was ranked No. 15 in both national polls for the second straight week
CONWAY, S.C. – For the second consecutive week, the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers came in at No. 15 in both the Associated Press (AP) Top 25 and USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches polls, it was released on Sunday, Oct. 10.
The No. 15 national ranking continues to be the highest-ranking for the Chants this season and marks the 18th-straight week in which the Chants have been ranked in both the media and coaches national top 25 polls.
Coastal also broke into the Football Writers Association of America-National Football Foundation (FWAA-NFF) Super 16 poll this week, coming in at No. 15 as well.
CCU broke into the top 25 for the first time in the program's FBS history on Oct. 18, 2020.

The Chanticleers were ranked as high as No. 9 in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and No. 11 in the Amway Coaches Poll, both of which were Sun Belt Conference records, and ranked in the top 25 in both the national polls for 10-straight weeks.
