Given that they're currently first among "Also Receiving Votes" and we're guaranteed a couple of ranked teams losing due to them facing each other, a win at Memphis (admittedly, they're an underdog to do so) would almost certainly give Tulane their first Top 25 appearance since their undefeated 1998 season. Should this come to pass, the American would join the SEC, ACC, and Pac-12 as the only conferences whose member schools have all been ranked at least once this decade--Connecticut would take over the title of longest drought in the conference, and they're only 9 years removed from a Fiesta Bowl appearance.

(The Big 12, of course, is missing Kansas, the only Power 5 team with zero bowl appearances this decade--though ironically their last ranking was more recent than their last bowl appearance, courtesy of a 5-0 start to the 2009 season that turned into a 5-7 season. As for the Big Ten? Well, let's just say that the last time a school from the state of Indiana other than Notre Dame was ranked was when the 2008 Ball State Cardinals made it through the regular season undefeated before losing both the MAC Championship Game and their bowl game. Purdue, at least, had been ranked the previous year; Indiana was last ranked in 1994, the only Power 5 team still waiting for their first Top 25 appearance of the 21st Century.)
