Gus Malzahn is back.

Malzahn's UCF Knights (6-2) are ranked inside the AP Top 25 - barely scraping in at No. 25 - for the first time since September 27th, 2020. Texas was the next closest team to the rankings with 58 points worth of votes.

Following a massive 25-21 win over No. 20 Cincinnati this past weekend, the Knights launched themselves right into the thick of the American Athletic Conference title hunt.

A huge matchup between UCF (3-1 in AAC play) and Tulane (the only remaining undefeated team in AAC play) on November 12th looms large. The Knights are one of two currently ranked AAC teams (Tulane) and one of three Group of Five schools (Liberty) in the poll.
