New Mexico · North Dakota State

Group of Six power rankings: This one game has massive CFP implications. Two top Group of Six teams — New Mexico and North Dakota State — face off in a big-time non-Power Four matchup.

A turnover-filled game haunted Memphis in its 31-17 loss to Tulane in Week 7, as quarterback Marcus Stokes threw three interceptions and lost two fumbles in the Tigers' first American Conference loss this season. The loss not only imparted a harsh lesson — non-Power teams have a much smaller margin of error throughout the season — but also shakes up USA TODAY's weekly Group of Six power rankings.
