The Group of Five continues to be unpredictable.
South Florida and Memphis, two of the top G5 teams this year, were in a close battle last weekend. After trailing, the Tigers came back to win 34-31.
That led to Memphis taking back the No. 1 spot in the HERO Sports Group of Five Top 25 media poll for this week. Members of nationally-focused media outlets as well as at least one team beat reporter from every G5 conference is involved.
