At the conclusion of Week Four and the official beginning of Week Five of the college football season, the latest edition of the USA Today LBM Coaches Poll was released Sunday afternoon.

As the race continues for the one College Football Playoff spot that will go to the highest ranked Group of Five conference champion (in the CFP rankings), the 3-0 UNLV Rebels are now the highest ranked G5 team in the coaches poll. Despite being idle this past week, the Rebels moved up from #25 to #23 with 14 points.

The Memphis Tigers entered this past week at #23, but a loss to Navy in Annapolis knocked them out of the top 25 and they received no points.

Other G5 teams to receive points this week were Boise State (42), James Madison (13), Navy (2), and Liberty (2).

The first CFP rankings of the season will be released on Tuesday, November 5.
