(STATS) - The number of unbeaten teams in the FCS dwindled from five to three this past weekend with only top-ranked North Dakota State, Princeton and Dartmouth holding onto perfect records.

Another pretty good measuring stick was evident Monday in the STATS FCS Top 25 - over half the teams are unbeaten against FCS competition with losses only to FBS opponents. Counting the three unbeatens, there are 13 overall with three more receiving votes in the national media poll.

All of them held their ranking or moved up as voters continued to be impressed with the credentials of No. 2 James Madison, No. 3 South Dakota State, No. 4 Weber State, No. 5 Montana, No. 6 Kennesaw State, No. 8 Furman, No. 9 Nicholls, No. 10 North Carolina A&T, No. 15 Sacramento State (first ranking since Sept. 26, 2011) and No. 25 Central Connecticut State (first ranking since Oct. 9, 2006). Florida A&M, Bethune-Cookman and Campbell also received votes as one-loss teams which are unbeaten against FCS opponents.
