The ranking comes two days after Maine clinched the Colonial Athletic Conference championship with a 41-0 rout of Rhode Island.
It is the team’s first conference championship since 2002.
The Black Bears are now 10-1 overall and 7-0 in the league.
The team closes out the regular season Saturday at archrival New Hampshire.
