Rankings from The Sports Network poll

This was the Hawks last season as a member of the NEC. In July 2013, Monmouth athletics moved to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. However, the MAAC does not sponsor football, so the Hawks played the 2013 season as an FCS independent before joining the Big South Conference as a football-only member in 2014.
