BISMARCK (AP) — The Dakotas are not well-represented in the NAIA football preseason poll.

Valley City State is ranked 17th coming into the season, on the heels of a 9-2 campaign last year. No other team in North Dakota or South Dakota made the Top 25 or even received votes in the coaches’ poll.

Defending national champion Saint Xavier of Illinois is ranked No. 1, followed by Carroll of Montana, Marian of Indiana, Georgetown of Kentucky and MidAmerica Nazarene of Kansas.
