KANSAS CITY, Mo.- After a dominant 45-22 win in La Grande, the Orediggers of Montana Tech have moved up from No.12 in the NAIA Top 25, to No. 10.

With three straight wins to start the season, the Orediggers moved from No. 21 in the preseason, to No. 15 after a win over (then No. 3) Georgetown, Ky. Following a win over (RV) Carroll College in Helena, the Diggs moved to No. 12, and now into the Top 10.

Montana Western remains at No. 4, Southern Oregon jumped to No. 14 after mauling the College of Idaho, and the Yotes fell to No. 19 with back-to-back losses.
Keiser (Fla.) makes it four times in a row leading the NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 Ratings earning 16 of the 17 first-place votes. Second place Northwestern (Iowa) receivies the other one and they are followed by Grand View (Iowa), Montana Western, and Bethel (Tenn.). 

Rating Methodology:

• The rating is rated by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences. Each conference is given one rater for every four schools in the league or division.
• The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater rates the best teams. A team receives 25 points for each first-place vote, 24 for second-place, 23 for third-place and so on through the list.
• The highest and lowest ratings for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) are removed. The team's rating will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the team appears on.
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered "receiving votes."
