Not as good as Memphis / Ole Miss though. Houston really needed Louisville to do better this year.
 
In the composite ratings, Ole Miss is one spot behind Memphis (17<16). Miami is ahead of Cincy (45>49). Temple remains ahead of PSU (25>33). Houston has 2 ranked teams on their remaining schedule, although Navy plays Memphis next week.
 
Ironically a close loss to ND by Temple could still help a team that can win convincingly against them. That depends on how far they drop Temple but if ND moves up and Temple gets shuffled out all bets are off.

My real issue with the rankings is that Iowa is given great credit with a weak schedule compared to Houston and Memphis.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here: Vanderbilt is terrible. But credit Houston with doing what good teams do when they play against inferior competition - they buried them from the get-go and never let them in the game. I scoffed at anyone I heard (and there were quite a few) that proclaimed that Vandy would cover a 10 pt spread because "they play in the SEC". The dumb, blind bias will never end.
