CBS Rankings after FAU

[WrekDivr]

Here is where the SA’s stand after this weekend:

Army: 92, +2
Navy: 81, +27
AF: 96, -19

I’m surprised at how high Navy moved given that they beat the #134 (out of 134) ranked team. Granted they beat them by 27, but it was against the worst team in FBS. They have Memphis at home in 2 weeks, so that should be a test, though they usually play Memphis close even when they are bad.

Army moves up +2 after beating FAU. FAU was ranked below us but was favored, so maybe it makes some sense. It still feels a bit disappointing, though.

Glad to see the bloom come off of the AF rose finally. It does feel like they should be more than 4 spots behind Army, though. They play #74 Baylor next week.

Army’s next opponent (in 2 weeks), Rice, is ranked 112, down -1 from last week. Rice plays Houston (83) next week and open as 5 point underdogs.

Conversely, The Atlantic's updated rankings are way more Army friendly and if they hold up suggest the team could have a special season. Here are those rankings:

Army 70
Rice 126
Temple 132
East Carolina 95
Tulsa 123
UAB 110
AF 79
North Texas 91
ND 22
UTSA 78
Navy 107

Agree - those rankings make more sense to me.
