The Gridiron Power Index (GPI), the index ranking for the NCAA Division I FCS and a top indicator of at-large playoff selection continues with unbeaten and defending Division I National Champion Richmond in the top spot.

The Colonial Athletic Association, the largest league in the FCS has seven teams in the top 25; the Big Sky Conference has four; the Missouri Valley Football, Southern, and the Southland Conferences have three each; the Mid-Eastern Athletic and Great West Conference have two each; and the Ohio Valley Conference has one. (Games through 10/10)

The Final 2009 GPI will be released once all the college football games have been played, in January 2010.
