The top Group of Five teams are coming down the home stretch of their seasons in college football. Will another fall in Week 13?

College football has a funny way of working itself out when it comes to figuring out the top teams in the country. While teams like Baylor and Penn State have fallen in recent weeks to lose momentum towards a CFP appearance, the Group of Five teams have been just as eager for an NY6 bid.

The top teams in the country when it comes to the Group of Five have stayed pretty much status quo the last three weeks. Cincinnati, Memphis and Boise State round out the three top teams in the non-Power Five and continue to climb the rankings. Cincinnati and Memphis have a matchup in just two weeks that could decide who represents the top of the AAC, but first have tough games in week 13.

Outside of the AAC, we have Boise State and Appalachian State vying for the top spot and the right to play in a New Years Six Bowl. Boise State has quietly found themselves at 9-1 with a huge blow to their season coming at BYU. The Broncos now have to go on the road for their last two games with arguably their toughest matchup against Utah State this week.

We could see quite a bit of chaos when it comes to the Group of Five this week. All of the top teams are rightfully favored but have tough matchups against good squads. These games are perfect let down games as each team is looking forward to their conference championships.

Here are three teams that could be in trouble this week.
