Eliminator Week 7: No last-second miracles for Boise State, Ole Miss or UCLA
Quote:It's certainly over for Boise State, which turned the ball over seven times in the first half of a 52-26 loss to Utah State on Friday night. And it's over for Ole Miss, which gave up 31 consecutive points in a 37-24 loss to Memphis on Saturday.
The Broncos and Rebels were among six FBS teams that were eliminated from playoff consideration this week. Through seven weeks of the 2015 season, we've eliminated 102 of the 128 FBS teams (79.7 percent), leaving 26 teams in contention for the four playoff spots.

Trending: EVEN
Houston, Memphis and Temple are ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 this week, the first time the American Athletic Conference has had three teams ranked at the same time in its three-year history. The Cougars play Memphis on Nov. 14 and don't play Temple during the regular season.
Quote:Memphis Tigers
Trending: UP
With its upset of No. 13 Ole Miss on Saturday, Memphis moved to 6-0 for the first time since 1961. The Tigers won after trailing 14-0, their FBS-leading fourth win this season after facing a double-digit deficit. According to ESPN Stats & Info, the 2005 UCLA team was the last FBS member with more than four double-digit comebacks in a single season.
Quote:Temple Owls
Trending: EVEN
After beating winless UCF 30-16 on Saturday, the Owls are off to a 6-0 start, matching the best start in school history. Temple was also 6-0 in 1974, '45 and '35. Temple is ranked No. 22 in the AP Top 25, ending a 36-year drought of not being ranked.

These are some long streaks being broken.
