CHAMPS
PRESENTED BY Only two weeks of the regular season remain, and the championship picture is forming in HBCU Football. The top teams have begun to separate themselves in the latest power rankings, with a new team making its first top-five appearance entering Week 11. These will be done weekly throughout the regular season, as I sort each HBCU football team at the FCS level based on their performances. Nicknamed The Road to Atlanta, the weekly power rankings lead to the annual meeting of HBCU football's two best teams at this year's Celebration Bowl in Atlanta.The Road to Atlanta Week 11 HBCU Football Power Rankings
