A week after being announced as the #9 team in the pre-season Coaches Poll, Memphis has debuted at #11 in the AP Poll. Looks like their are some big expectations this season.

After beating Tulane last week, Memphis dropped out of ESPN's Bottom 10. Don't get your hopes up, the Tigers are still on the waiting list.

Last Week: 2-4
Season: 33-15 (69%)

Central Florida over Memphis
Rhodes over Sewanee
Georgia over Florida
Stanford over USC
New Orleans Saints over St. Louis Rams
Tennessee Titans over Indianapolis Colts
