Ouachita (4-0) is coming off a 21-13 win over then-ranked No. 7 Harding last Saturday at Cliff Harris Stadium. The win vaulted the Tigers to as high as No. 4 in the national rankings. Ouachita is ranked this week at No. 6 by the American Football Coaches Association, No. 4 by D2Football.com, and No. 5 in the NCAA.com D2 Power Rankings. The Tigers are alone at the top of the Great American Conference standings as the only unbeaten team in the league.

The Tigers lead the all-time series with the Rangers 10-3, and have won all nine meetings in the Great American Conference era.
