Conference results snapshot

Season-to-date observed results, not just this week. Record cutoff: November 1, 2026, 3:53 p.m. CST; the weekly recap above uses a separate 3:00 p.m. CST cutoff. The underlying incomplete inventory covers 176 verified NAIA-versus-NAIA counting games dated October 22–31: 175 between conferences and one within a conference. This is not a complete season or national inventory.

W–L is from this conference’s perspective. Only opponent conferences with observed games are listed; omitted matchups and a middle dot (·) mean no game observed in this inventory, not a verified 0–0 record. The Top 25 row uses the official October 21, 2026 NAIA preseason poll, excludes receiving-votes teams and includes same-conference opponents. It overlaps the opponent rows and should not be added to them. Non-NAIA opponents are outside this chart.

Looking ahead: November 2–8
