College Football Bottom 25 rankings: Upheaval in the bottom four as well

21. Florida Atlantic, 3-7 (11): The Owls were another one of our Bottom 25 winners last week, but when those wins come against other Bottom 25 teams, it makes it a lot harder to get out of the Bottom 25 yourself.

16. Florida International, 3-7 (17): Florida International didn't play last week, but they did grab some headlines, as they have reportedly hired Butch Davis as its next coach. Because if FIU has learned anything, it's that hiring former head coaches that haven't been head coaches in a while is always the right move. Maybe if Butch Davis falls through, the Panthers can hire Mack Brown in 2019.

15. Marshall, 3-7 (7): Now that was the Marshall I'd been waiting to see all year. I just figured it would show up against one of the 50 Conference USA teams that have appeared in these rankings, not Middle Tennessee.

13. UTEP, 3-7 (16): Guess the Miners couldn't keep all the momentum from a win against Houston Baptist going.

6. Rice, 2-8 (3): Rice! What were you thinking? You were down 21-0 against Charlotte and you came back and won! You may have thrown away your title hopes.

and just FYI:

1. Kansas, 1-9 (1): The king stay the king.

Man, UTEP's the Rodney Dangerfield of college football. No respect. The good news is we're a real darkhorse right now for the title. A loss at Rice would be a huge lift. But we wouldn't be in this must lose situation if we hadn't screwed up and beat UTSA.

Quote:25. East Carolina, 3-7 (Last week: Not ranked): East Carolina drops back into The Bottom 25 this week after losing to SMU. It was a bit of a surprise, because Charlotte was ranked No. 25 last week, lost to Rice, and somehow fell out of the rankings anyway.

Well...........thanks Pirates!

New rankings out today. UTEP is leading the conference. 9 (CBS) and 10 (ESPN). No idea how we're not #1.
