At first glance, I was worried about Memphis with a possible letdown on short week. As a new power, cannot see them overlooking anyone. In fact, they now are a true fly-in-the-ointment team that has to go into statement mode.

Memphis could be highest rated non-power 5 team or even dark horse playoff team. The have 13 straight wins going back to last year and if they win the AAC, which is gaining respect, they can sneak into playoff conversation.

Paxton Lynch has thrown for 1,919 yards, 13 TDs, completing nearly 71 percent of passes with just the one interception, so they have the firepower to do it. On national TV, they can show the country they are for real.
