Georgia moves into striking distance in new CBS Sports 130
Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:04 amSome of the biggest developments in the CBS Sports 130 this week came from the AAC. Memphis made a major move -- more in the Mover's Report below -- to No. 16 after taking down SMU, and our voters still think pretty highly of the Mustangs after the close defeat on the road, dropping them just five spots down to No. 20. Now, the AAC has five of the top 25 teams in the CBS Sports 130 with the Tigers and Mustangs joined by Cincinnati at No. 18, Navy at No. 24 and UCF at No. 25.
Biggest movers
No. 16 Memphis (+10): It's been a slow climb for the Tigers in the CBS Sports 130 but handing SMU its first loss of the season was rankings rocket fuel. Now we see how Memphis handles the pressure of sitting in the driver's seat of the AAC with a couple key conference games left on the schedule, including a date with Cincinnati.
No. 29 Appalachian State (-9): There was talk of a New Year's Six bowl, and all that could come to Appalachian State should it finish the season undefeated with a fourth straight Sun Belt title. After losing to rival Georgia Southern at home, the Mountaineers no longer control the path to the conference championship game. Our voters still like them as one of the better teams in the country, but Thursday's loss drastically changed the stakes for the rest of November.
