(STATS) -- Every FCS win over an FBS program is felt across college football, but a strong intersectional matchup early in the season is just as important for the FCS.No FCS conferences do intersectional matchups quite like the Big Sky and Missouri Valley conferences.On Saturday, they will collide three times inside the STATS FCS Top 25 -- No. 8 Eastern Washington at No. 1 North Dakota State, No. 14 Montana at No. 3 Northern Iowa and No. 19 Northern Arizona at No. 18 Western Illinois. The Missouri Valley has home-field advantage in each game.Eastern Washington and Northern Iowa were two of the four FCS teams to knock off FBS programs in the first full week of the season. The upsets caused five teams to gain first-place votes in Mondays new Top 25, although North Dakota State, the five-time reigning national champion, still held firm with the top ranking, gaining 137 of the 165 first-place votes.I think its a great matchup for us early, Montana coach Bob Stitt said in looking forward to UNI, because if you want to be great in the FCS, youre gonna play teams like that once you get into the playoffs.North Dakota State, following an overtime win over Charleston Southern in the standalone FCS Kickoff on Aug. 27, was the only ranked team to have a bye this past weekend. During that time, Eastern Washington scored a 45-42 win at Washington State from the Pac-12, with senior wide receiver Cooper Kupp becoming the all-time FCS leader in touchdown receptions with 59.Saturdays showdown at the Fargodome is the first time EWU and NDSU will meet since EWU beat the Bison in overtime in the 2010 national quarterfinals on their way to winning their only FCS title. Thats the only time NDSU has lost in its FCS playoff history, winning every national title since 2011.Northern Iowa beat Big 12 member Iowa State 25-20 to kick off its season, but the Panthers have never beaten Montana in five all-time meetings -- the last three in the playoffs. Montana is coming off a 41-31 victory over Saint Francis.Northern Arizona lost its opener to an FBS opponent -- 44-13 at Arizona State -- although 2015 STATS FCS Freshman of the Year Case Cookus got his season going with 369 passing yards and a touchdown. Western Illinois already has a key FCS win, 38-21 over rival Eastern Illinois from the Ohio Valley Conference.Richmond, whose 21 first-place votes were the second most in Mondays Top 25, jumped two spots to No. 2 behind NDSU following a 37-20 victory over Virginia that ended the ACCs 68-game winning streak over the FCS. The Spiders were the second CAA Football team to beat an FBS opponent on opening weekend after unranked Albany topped Buffalo from the Mid-American Conference.After UNI at No. 3, the rest of the Top 25 was Sam Houston State (1-0), Jacksonville State (1-0), Chattanooga (1-0), Charleston Southern (1-1), Eastern Washington, South Dakota State (0-1) and Illinois State (1-0).McNeese (1-0) and James Madison (1-0) remained at Nos. 11 and 12, respectively. They were followed by William & Mary (0-1), Montana, The Citadel (1-0), Portland State (1-0), Coastal Carolina (1-0), Western Illinois, Northern Arizona and Youngstown State (1-0), which joined the poll as a sixth Missouri Valley team -- the most of any conference.Rounding out the Top 25 were No. 21 Colgate (0-1), Villanova (0-1), North Carolina A&T (1-0), New Hampshire (0-1) and North Dakota (0-1).Towson fell from the Top 25 after a loss to South Florida.A national panel of sports information and media relations directors, broadcasters, writers and other dignitaries select the STATS FCS Top 25. In the voting, a first-place vote is worth 25 points, a second-place vote 24 points, all the way down to one point for a 25th-place vote.The Top 25 is released every Monday afternoon during the regular season, except for Sunday morning, Nov. 20, prior to the selection of the 24-team FCS playoff field. A final Top 25 will follow the FCS championship game, which will be held Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas. Ray Black Brewers Jersey .

TROON, Scotland -- Marco Dawsons first British Open is proving to be an eventful one.The 52-year-old Senior British Open champion reached the eighth green during his first practice round at Royal Troon on Tuesday when his caddie for the week, standing about 10 feet away, was knocked to the ground by an errant drive from Vijay Singh from the seventh tee.Ive never seen anyone get hit by a ball like that, Dawson said Wednesday. It came down square on him. Not a glancing blow. He went in and out of consciousness. Threw up a couple of times because he was getting faint. We didnt know how bad it really was.The caddie, Billy Ciplinski out of the nearby golf club at Prestwick, was taken to a medical center at Royal Troon and then onto a hospital. He stayed there overnight under observation before being discharged Wednesday.Ciplinski came straight to Troon, sporting a cut the size of a golf ball on the back of his head, and told Dawson hed be OK to carry his bag for the opening round Thursday.They didnt put in any stitches, they just glued it. That was it, Dawson said. We got lucky.It was Ciplinskis wedding anniversary on Tuesday --- and he spent it with his wife, after all.dddddddddddd She works as a physicians assistant at the hospital where Ciplinski was transferred.Dawson aborted his round Tuesday after Ciplinski collapsed, and finished it off on Wednesday using 60-year-old Johnny McMillan, who works as a luggage handler at Royal Troon, as an emergency caddie.It was great, McMillan said. Im desperate to get a bag during the Open.Dawson qualified for Royal Troon by winning the Senior Open at Sunningdale last year. That was his second win on the PGA Tour Champions. Before that, the American made 512 starts and won just once -- on the second-tier Web.com Tour in 2002.Hell head into Thursday having played 18 holes at Troon, but he thinks thats enough.Thats the reason why I got a local caddie, Dawson said. The caddie I had last year at Sunningdale was local and when the conditions changed every day, he knew exactly how the course played. He told me what club to hit, gave me all the information.Its about executing the shot. ' ' '
