Starting the season ranked No. 108, Georgia Southern has been on a steady rise as they’ve reached ranking No. 64 despite the small setback after falling to Clemson.

The Eagles are now the third highest-ranked Sun Belt team, falling behind No. 30 Appalachian State and No. 48 Troy.

GS passed the then No. 70 Arkansas State Red Wolves after beating them in a close game 28-21 and the Red Wolves dropped to No. 75.

Now with a 3-1 record, the Eagles will have their homecoming game hosting No. 120 South Alabama Saturday, October 6.
