//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Winston-Salem State took the biggest leap this week, jumping two spots in the AFCA Division II poll. The Rams moved to no. 13 after beating Livingstone 40-0 on Saturday, and remain the only HBCU in that poll. Both Tuskegee and Virginia State were among the teams receiving votes.
