Football Ranked #25 in Associated Press Poll
Oct 15, 2017 | Football
First week in national rankings since Nov. 8, 2015
MEMPHIS – The Memphis football team (5-1, 2-1 The American) moved in to the Associated Press Top 25 following a 30-27 win over Navy. The last time Memphis was ranked in the AP poll was Nov. 8, 2015.
Memphis debuted in that year's Associated Press top 25 poll with a 37-24 win over Ole Miss. That marked the Tigers' first appearance in the AP Top 25 since 2004. The team was then ranked in four consecutive polls (Week 8 - No. 18, Week 9 – No. 16, Week 10 - No. 15, and Week 11 – No. 25).
Memphis was knocked out of the national rankings by its next opponent -- suffering a 35-34 loss at Houston. The two American Athletic Conference West Division foes will play Thursday at 7 p.m. (CT) in Houston in a game that will be nationally-televised by ESPN.
The Tigers started a run of five consecutive games against West Division foes with a 30-27 win over Navy on Saturday. The Tigers will not play another Saturday game until November, playing Thursday at Houston, the following Friday (Oct. 27) against Tulane and Friday, Nov. 3 at Tulsa.
Tickets for the Tigers' home game against Tulane are on sale now at www.GoTigersGoTix.com. That game will kick at 7 p.m. (CT) and will air on CBS Sports Network.
