UCF Climbs to No. 20 in both AP and USA Today Coaches’ Poll; AP Ranks USF No. 16, Memphis No. 25

ORLANDO, Fla. – Another landslide victory for UCF has furthered the Knights’ ascent into the forefront of college football. UCF is now ranked No. 20 by both the AP Poll and the USA Today Coaches’ Poll, jumping two spots in the AP and one in the USA Today.

The Knights are rolling opponents as of late, outscoring their adversaries by a margin of 253- 84 through five weeks. Previously ranked American Athletic Conference teams Navy and USF made moves in the rankings as well, as Navy fell and USF climbed to 16 in the AP Poll.

Memphis, who UCF defeated 40-13, has been on a tear since the loss, beating UCONN 70-31 and the No. 25 ranked Navy 30-27.

UCF will travel to the previously-ranked Navy Midshipmen this week.
