Samford has started the season 4-0 for the first time since 1995, and the team is 2-0 in Southern Conference play for the first time since joining the league in 2008. The Bulldogs have won four in a row for the first time since 1999.
Samford is one of five Southern Conference teams to be ranked in this week's Coaches Poll. Wofford leads the pack at No. 5, while Georgia Southern is ranked ninth. The Citadel is ranked 15th in the poll, and Appalachian State is ranked 16th.
The Bulldogs are also receiving votes in the Sports Network poll, earning 237 points, just three spots from making the Top 25.
