Rice at Memphis

The Memphis Tigers have long been the team to beat in Conference USA, but the talent which was once abundunt and comparable to a BCS Conference team, simply isn't quite on that same level. Whille they are 4-1 in conference play, a pair of the wins were by three or less, with one of those at home, something not present in past years. Rice got blown apart by Tulsa, but has been competitive throughout the season and are a good road team at 4-2. The Tigers have failed to cover at home vs. a team with a winning road mark in each of their last four. Rice gets the call.
