The American is finally forcing voters in the Associated Press and USA Today football polls to take notice.
Memphis, Temple and Houston are all 5-0 and have proved that there is good Division I football being played everywhere in this country.
Memphis is ranked 22nd in this week's coaches' poll while Houston and Temple are the top two teams that received votes, but did not make the top 25.
Houston is ranked 24th in the AP poll, ahead of Temple and Memphis, which are the first two teams that just missed the cut.
