WACO, Texas – A week after being ranked 12th in the preseason STATS FCS Top-25 Poll, the Elon University football team checked in at number 13 in the preseason AFCA FCS Coaches' Poll. Elon is coming off of an 8-4 season in which the it made the program's second-ever appearance in the FCS Playoffs.

Under first-year coach Curt Cignetti, Elon posted a six-game improvement from 2016 to 2017. Cignetti was named the CAA Football Coach of the Year and the team featured six all-conference players and the CAA Offensive Rookie of the Year. The Phoenix defeated four ranked opponents and made its first appearance in the national polls since the 2010 campaign. The team won eight straight games during the season, the fourth longest such streak within a season in the history of the program.

The Phoenix, picked to finish fifth in CAA Football's preseason poll, returns 18 starters from last year's squad. Among the returners are All-American linebacker Warren Messer who is among those on the watch list for the Buchanan Award.

Defending national champion North Dakota State was the clear number one team in the poll, collecting 23 of the 26 first-place votes.

CAA Football saw six of its 12 teams ranked, as James Madison (2nd), New Hampshire (9th), Delaware (16th), Villanova (19th) and Stony Brook (22nd) were also among the top 25. Elon is also slated to face 21st-ranked Furman.
