NCAA Football Power Rankings, Week 17

Just for fun, I like to continue the weekly rankings through bowl season. There were only 8 FBS Bowl games on Friday and Saturday, along with the FCS Semifinals and Celebration Bowl, and the Division 2 and Division 3 championship, so a total of 13 games. Usually the early bowls feature a lot of 6-6 and 7-5 teams, so nothing big changes at the top, but I've actually got Oklahoma down at #6 now, having been passed by Appalachian State and Memphis. Appalachian State won their bowl game against UAB, but Memphis hasn't played yet, so that one's a little more mysterious. As far as I can tell, the key for them was Arkansas State winning against Florida International. That raised the two team's common opponents up just enough to give Memphis the edge. Specifically, leaving out that game lowers UL Monroe by 2 spots, and Southern Alabama by 1. Memphis and Oklahoma were already extremely close in my rankings, and that small change put Memphis ahead.
