The college football season is in full swing and teams across the country are vying for a spot in the AP Top 25 rankings. However, a group of five teams have been struggling to break into the rankings due to a lack of power five upsets.
The group of five teams consists of Boise State, Cincinnati, Memphis, UCF, and USF. All five teams have had impressive seasons thus far and have put together impressive wins over quality opponents. However, the lack of power five upsets has kept them from breaking into the rankings.
Boise State has been the most successful of the group, with wins over Florida State and Marshall. However, their lack of a win over a power five team has kept them from breaking into the rankings. Cincinnati has also had a strong season, with wins over UCLA and Houston. However, they too have been unable to break into the rankings due to a lack of power five upsets.
Memphis has had an up and down season, but have still managed to put together impressive wins over Navy and SMU. However, their lack of a power five upset has kept them from breaking into the rankings. UCF has had a strong season as well, with wins over Stanford and Temple. However, they too have been unable to break into the rankings due to a lack of power five upsets.
Finally, USF has had an impressive season, with wins over Illinois and East Carolina. However, their lack of a power five upset has kept them from breaking into the rankings.
It is clear that the group of five teams have been impressive this season and have put together impressive wins over quality opponents. However, their lack of power five upsets has kept them from breaking into the AP Top 25 rankings. It will be interesting to see if any of these teams can break into the rankings in the coming weeks.
