ORANGEBURG, SC – SC State, which clinched its second straight Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference title and a return trip to the FCS playoffs Saturday with a 37-13 win over Morgan State, has climbed to 7th in all three FCS polls.

The Bulldogs, 9-1 overall and 7-0 in the MEAC, also hold down the No. 1 spot in the SBN Top 10 poll and three other polls that rank HBCUs.
