Memphis football easily beat Rice on Oct. 31, and now the Tigers are moving up in college football's polls.
The Tigers (8-1, 4-1 American Conference) were ranked No. 23 in the US LBM Coaches Poll that was released on Nov. 2. That was higher than last week, when Memphis was ranked No. 25. The Tigers were No. 22 in the AP Poll after also coming in at No. 25 last week.
Memphis has been hovering around the top 25 for most of the season. The Tigers entered the rankings in the middle of the season but fell back out after a stunning loss to UAB on Oct. 18. After beating USF a week later, they were right back in the top 25.
Navy had been ranked No. 23 in last week's coaches poll, but the Midshipmen fell out of the rankings after losing to North Texas. Tulane had been close to the top 25 in both the coaches poll and AP Poll, but the Green Wave lost to UTSA and didn't come near the rankings this week.
Memphis hosts Tulane on Nov. 7 (8 p.m., ESPN) at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.
