ESPN’s College GameDay almost didn’t come to Memphis this week. The Tigers needed a last second field goal to miss for them to remain with one loss.

The AAC’s biggest game of the season is in Tennessee in Week 10, and there’s some clarity in the rankings for the first time this season.
1. SMU
Houston hit SMU in the mouth last Thursday, but the Mustangs never waivered.
