The No. 24 Rockets (9-1, 6-1 MAC) are the second-highest team from the Group of 5 to be included in the rankings. After Houston and Memphis both lost their games last week, the two are out of the rankings with Toledo sliding up. Navy Midshipmen plays the Cougars this week.
After a pair of wins over Central Michigan and Bowling Green, the Rockets are up to 9-1 overall and could still win the MAC West, albiet a nail biter. The Rockets not only needs to win on Friday in their home finale, but the'll be paying close attention to the Ohio Bobcats vs. Northern Illinois Huskies game on ESPNU tonight.
