After picking up their second win over a top 25 team this season defeating Tulane 38-31 on the road, the Knights have moved up 5 spots in the country in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll rankings.
The Knights, who already defeated a No.20 ranked Cincinnati team on Homecoming just a couple of weeks ago took down the No. 16 ranked Tulane on the road in Louisiana Saturday after a season high 336 rushing yards which included a program-record by a quarterback in a single game by John Rhys Plumlee rushing for 176 yards on 18 attempts.
The win marked the first time UCF has defeated a top 25 ranked team on the road since 2013. With the win the Knights have climbed to No. 17 in the country in the latest Associated Press Top 25 rankings released Sunday.
After handing the Green Wave their first conference loss of the season, the Knights are now in the driver’s seat to control their own destiny by winning out and hosting a conference championship game to pick up their final title in the American Athletic Conference.
The Knights will host Navy in their annual Senior Day final home this Saturday Nov. 19 at 11 a.m. at FBC Mortgage Stadium. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.
