Despite the win, Rice is 128 in Massey and 167 in Sagarin.

Rice moves up a little out of the basement:

6. Rice (2-8)

Rice lost Pillow Fight of the Century I: The Owl Bowl to FA(not I)U, but then followed up with a win over frequent Bottom 10 resident Charlotte. Now they will face UTEP to see who will finish in the basement of Conference USA West. I was once in that basement. It's full of old Houston, Memphis and TCU media guides and one wall has a giant "AMERICAN CONFERENCE SUX" painted on it.

This one was funny as well:


7. Georgia State Not Southern (2-8)

Speaking of the return of old friends...this weekend Georgia State Not Southern will host Georgia Southern Not State in the Georgia Dome, just south of the Georgia Aquarium and Georgia Tech, located 1.3 miles from the Georgia State Capitol, which is adjacent to the Georgia State campus, which sits between the headquarters of both the Georgia Department of Agriculture and Georgia-Pacific. Next year Georgia State will play at Turner Field, which is on Georgia Avenue. Within the 4-square-mile area I just described there are also six Waffle Houses, which is the most Georgia thing about this entire paragraph.

In many ways, the job at Kansas seems harder than the job at Rice:

1. Kansas Nayhawks (1-9)

Yes, Kansas, the 2015 Bottom 10 runners-up, have suddenly made a late dash to the top of the bottom thanks to its loss in Pillow Fight of the Century 2: Electric Boogaloo. KU fell into the funnel of the Iowa State Cyclones in the Auntie Em Bowl. The good news in Lawrence, as we explained, is that the 2016 trend is for teams to not occupy this spot for very long. The better news is that college basketball has started.

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.

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

The best one by far!

I had a late submission of my rankings to Massey. My ranking of Rice at #123 was just enough to lift Rice to #127 in the Massey Composite! HOOT!
