After beating Tulsa 45-7 Saturday night, the Memphis football team was ranked No. 23 in the country in Sunday's Associated Press poll.
Head coach Ryan Silverfield's Tigers are 6-0 on the season, including a win over SEC foe Arkansas. Memphis entered the rankings after receiving votes in each of the last two polls.
Fellow American Conference team, South Florida, also entered the rankings this week, coming in at No. 24. The Tigers will host USF at Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium on October 25 in what could be a massive game for both teams.
Memphis is on bye this week, and the Tigers will return to action on October 18 in Birmingham, where they will play regional rival UAB in the Battle of the Bones.
