Only two weeks remain in the regular-season, and the matchup in the American Athletic Conference championship game is all but set. Navy will clinch a spot in the title game with a win over East Carolina on Saturday, while Temple needs to simply beat the Pirates and Tulane over the next two weeks to win the East division.
Yet neither the Midshipmen nor Owls are atop this week's AAC power rankings, as voted upon by a leaguewide panel of beat reporters. That honor goes to South Florida, which edged Memphis to improve to 8-2.
