The Rams (8-1, 5-0 CAA Football) were previously tabbed No. 12 in the Stats Perform poll in 2021, which was its highest ranking in any national poll since a spot at No. 9 in the Sports Network Top 25 for the week of Oct. 30 back in 2001.

 

That year, URI reached a peak ranking as number four in the country for three straight weeks.

 

The highest Rhode Island has ever been ranked was No. 3 in the season-ending NCAA Division I-AA Football Committee poll of 1984.

 

That team was led by All-American quarterback Tom Ehrhardt.
