Coming off its second bye week of the season, the Hutchinson Community College football team remained No. 3 in the latest NJCAA Division I Football Rankings, which were released on Monday.

The 7-1 Blue Dragons play host to the Highland Scotties at Noon on Saturday at Gowans Stadium. The Dragons will close the regular season with Highland and travel to Garden City on November 16.

This is the 44th consecutive poll the Dragons have been ranked, which is the second-longest run in the rankings in program history. The Blue Dragon record for consecutive weeks ranked in the polls is 45, which was set from 2010 to 2013. The Dragons have been ranked the nation's Top 3 for 40 consecutive polls.

The nation's Top 5 remained the same after last week's action. Iowa Western earned all 12 first-place votes after a dominant victory over Butler last Saturday. Georgia Military stayed at No. 2, followed by Hutchinson, Northwest Mississippi and Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Coffeyville's narrow 13-12 win over Dodge City gave the Red Ravens a three-spot jump to No. 10. Butler fell four spots to No. 14 and Dodge City stayed in the rankings at No. 15.
