Not much movement this week, although it was hard not to bump Arkansas State up one spot following the team’s 10-point loss at Michigan where the Red Wolves went down 21-3 at half, before staging a comeback to make things interesting at the end.

Texas State took a tough loss at home against Arizona State where the Bobcats actually entered as a narrow favorite and App State needed every bit of quarterback Joey Aguliar’s 424 passing yards to squeak out a win over East Carolina.

South Alabama obviously had the most impressive win of the college football weekend, beating Northwestern State 87-10 at home. That moves Major Applewhite’s club up one spot over Old Dominion, who lost by 20 to Virginia Tech.

This week’s play sees a pivotal conference game between App State and South Alabama and the rest of the league will enter conference play the following week.
