Not a fan of either, but the Cincy and Memphis rankings swap is hilarious.
Memphis (10-1) jumps Cincy. Memphis only loss to Temple.
Cincy (10-1) drops below Memphis. Only loss is to Ohio State. Got punished in the rankings for barely beating, guess who, TEMPLE!! You know, the only team to beat Memphis!
I guess we’ll find out the true ranking later this week!
