The South Dakota State University football team continued its steady rise in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision rankings Monday, climbing to ninth in both major polls.

SDSU, 6-1 overall and tied atop the Missouri Valley Football Conference with Southern Illinois at 5-0 in league play, moved up two spots in the Sports Network media poll after a 24-14 Hobo Day victory over then-No . 6 Northern Iowa last week. The Jackrabbits also moved up four spots in the FCS Coaches' Poll to attain their first top-10 ranking since moving to Division I at the start of the 2004 season.

The Jackrabbits travel to Youngstown State Saturday for the Missouri Valley Football Conference Game of the Week. Television coverage begins at 3 p.m. Central Time (4 p.m. Eastern) from Stambaugh Stadium in Youngstown, Ohio.

The game will be broadcast live on Sioux Falls-based KDLTTV , as well as Comcast SportsNet Chicago. Additional television coverage will be available on a tape-delayed basis on Fox College Sports Central (10:30 p.m. CT Saturday) and Fox Sports Midwest (2 a.m. CT Sunday).
