(STATS) -- Its highly impressive that Jacksonville State has not lost to a conference opponent or against a non-FBS opponent during the regular season under third-year coach John Grass. Cheap Jordans Fake .But the Gamecocks, last years FCS national runners-up, cant help but have the postseason in the back of their thoughts while they continue to dominate opponents.The Gamecocks (7-1) head into November on a strong note and with the No. 2 ranking in the STATS FCS Top 25. They only trail Sam Houston State, which held the top ranking for the third straight week on Monday.Its a good sign for Jacksonville State when Grass says, I dont think we can play much better, as he did after a 47-14 victory over Eastern Illinois this past Saturday. It came against the most recent Ohio Valley Conference program to beat the Gamecocks, something their seniors probably remembered from 2013 while they raised their conference win streak to an FCS-high 21 games. They have beaten 28 straight non-FBS teams in the regular season, losing only to Michigan State, Auburn and LSU.Today was just a great team win, Grass said after quarterback Eli Jenkins accounted for three touchdowns and running back Josh Clemons scored twice.Jacksonville State received 15 of the 142 first-place votes in the national media poll.Sam Houston State (8-0) collected the most with 102 after the nations highest-scoring team had its season-high point total in a 66-17 non-conference win over Texas Southern.

Eastern Washington beat Big Sky Conference rival Montana 35-16 and North Dakota State defeated Missouri Valley Football Conference rival Northern Iowa 24-20. The Citadel continued their best start in program history by topping East Tennessee State 45-10 in the Southern Conference.Richmond was idle this past weekend, but the Spiders were happy to rest up for Saturdays showdown against the CAA Football rival sitting right behind them, No. 7 James Madison (7-1). The Dukes, who hold a slight lead in the conferences crowded title race, routed Rhode Island 84-7 -- the most points scored by an FCS team this season.Charleston Southern (5-2), Chattanooga (8-1) and Villanova (6-2) completed the Top 10.MEAC leader North Carolina A&T (7-1) moved up one spot to No. 11 followed by Western Illinois (6-2), South Dakota State (5-3), Cal Poly (6-2), Youngstown State (6-2), North Dakota (7-2), Central Arkansas (7-1), Coastal Carolina (6-2), Montana (5-3) and Samford (6-2).Rounding out the Top 25 were Grambling State (5-1); New Hampshire (6-3), which re-entered after a six-week absence; Harvard (6-1); newcomer Lehigh (7-2), the Patriot League leader; and Stony Brook (5-3).Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State fell from the Top 25, and a season-high 11 FCS conferences were represented in it, led by the CAA with five.A national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries select the STATS FCS Top 25.

Roman Josi had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday night. ATLANTA -- The Braves already knew rookie Evan Gattis is an impressive power hitter. Hes also proving a quick learner. Gattis took advantage of some last-second tips from teammate Justin Upton before hitting a go-ahead, two-run homer off Kenley Jansen in the eighth inning, and the Atlanta Braves rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-1 on Saturday night. Andrelton Simmons followed Gattis with another homer off Jansen after each listened to quick reminders from Upton on the right-handers signature cutters. "I remembered (Upton) said something about (Jansen) in the advance meeting, so I wanted to go to him to see what I could get," Gattis said. "Whatever I could get in an at-bat like that was going to help." Gattis said Uptons advice was to avoid cutters that appeared to be bound for the middle of the plate, because they would break off the plate. Gattis said Uptons instruction was to wait on a pitch "starting at you, or it looks like its starting at you. Thats going to be the one that you want." Gattis fouled off two cutters before hitting the line-drive homer. Jansen (1-2) said Gattis "just hit a good pitch." "What could I do?" Jansen asked. "Im not going to let that bother me. Tip your hat. He hit a good pitch. Youve got to go in there. Period. Hes creeping up on home plate every time Im throwing outside. I put it where I wanted to put it." Gattis has eight homers and ranks third in the majors with six game-winning RBIs. "Awesome," said Simmons of Gattis. "Hes awesome. Just amazing. Thats all you can say. Pretty much you saw it coming, but just seeing it is awesome. Hes a great hitter. Hes always ready to go and hes fun to watch." Gattis, primarily a catcher, also has played left field and first base. The recent returns of catcher Brian McCann and right fielder Jason Heyward from the disabled list may make it difficult for Gattis to find regular playing time, but he said he enjoys pinch-hitting. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez sees a benefit in having Gattis available as a pinch-hitter. "He likes these moments, it seems like," Gonzalez said. "Its almost better that you can put him in anywhere you want, but sooner or later weve got to get him three or four at-bats." Kris Medlen, Cory Gearrin, and Craig Kimbrel combined on a two-hitter for Atlanta. Chris Capuano led 1-0 before he allowed a one-out single to B.J. Upton in the eighth. Dodgers manager Don Mattingly brought in Jansen (1-2), the hard-throwing right-hander, to face Gattis even though Capuano had allowed just five hits and thrown only 91 pitches. "Im not going to let him lose that game," Mattingly said of Capuano. Capuano said he told Mattingly aafter his last at-bat in the eighth inning to be prepared to pull him out of the game because he had lingering problems with a strained calf. Fake Jordan Shoes. "It wasnt affecting pitch execution out there," Capuano said. "It just feels a little tired. Ive got an extra day before the next start. With treatment and stuff we should be able to get that ready." Gearrin (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth in relief of Medlen, who gave up two hits and one unearned run in seven innings. Kimbrel pitched a perfect ninth for his 13th save. The Dodgers, who have lost two straight to the Braves after winning four of five, scored their only run in the fourth. Adrian Gonzalez walked and scored on Skip Schumakers double to the left-field corner and left fielder Justin Uptons fielding error. Schumaker wasnt given an RBI. The only other hit allowed by Medlen was a second-inning single by Tim Federowicz. "Medlen was outstanding," Gonzalez said. "He was ready for one of these games. You saw seven innings of him being the Medlen of last year." Chris Johnson had three hits for the Braves, who won after finding themselves in a sudden bullpen crisis. Before the game, Braves general manager Frank Wren said an MRI revealed a tear in Eric OFlahertys left ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. OFlaherty was placed on the disabled list and could face season-ending surgery. On Thursday, left-hander Jonny Venters had Tommy John surgery for the second time, ending his season. On Friday, right-hander Jordan Walden was placed on the 15-day disabled list because of shoulder inflammation. Medlen, who had been 0 for 13 this season, had a brief celebration in the third inning when he had a bloop single for his first hit. Standing and smiling on first base, Medlen lifted his hands to the sky before giving first-base coach Terry Pendleton a hug. Dodgers centre fielder Matt Kemp leaped and reached over the wall to take a home run away from Heyward in the first inning. Heyward took off his helmet while crossing second base. Just when it appeared he might toss the headgear in disgust, Heyward instead lifted the helmet toward Kemp in a gesture of respect. NOTES: The Braves called up RHP Cory Rasmus from Triple-A Gwinnett to take OFlahertys roster spot. Rasmus, 25, is the younger brother of Toronto OF Colby Rasmus. ... Medlen lowered his ERA to 3.02. ... Dodgers 2B Mark Ellis, on the disabled list because of a strained right quad, will join the team in Atlanta on Sunday and fly with the team to Milwaukee. .. Mattingly said LHP Ted Lilly (strained right rib cage) will come off the DL soon, but not necessarily to start. ... The series ends Sunday with Braves LHP Mike Minor (5-2) facing Dodgers RHP Matt Magill (0-0). ' ' '
