The Knights (3-0), who defeated FAU, 56-36, on Friday night, continue to hold the inside track on a spot for an Access Bowl in the College Football Playoff.

UCF, which holds the nation's longest win streak at 16 games, hosts Pittsburgh at 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Spectrum Stadium.

The highest-ranked conference champion from the Group of 5 leagues in the College Football Playoff rankings, which begin on Oct. 30, earns a New Year's Six bowl bid.

BYU (3-1) is the only other non-Power 5 team ranked in the AP poll this week, with the Cougars coming in at No. 20.

Miami is the only other team from the state of Florida ranked in the top 25. The Hurricanes moved up to No. 16 both polls this week.
