The Indiana State University football team travels to Springfield Missouri to take on the Missouri State Bears.

The Sycamores enter the competition ranked 23rd nationally in this weeks's Football Championship Subdivision Top 25 Poll.  This is the seventh consecutive week the Sycamores were ranked nationally.  The achievement is a new school record.

In addition, the Sycamores are number 15 in this week's Gridiron Power Index (GPI).  The index is a top indicator used by the NCAA Division I FCS of teams with potential to make the playoffs.  ISU's current ranking puts the team on the bubble for being selected for the postseason tournament.

The Sycamores are currently 5-4 for the season, 3-3 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC).  

The Missouri State Bears are coming off a bye week.  They are currently 1-8 overall and are seventh in the MVFC with a record of 1-6.
