Liberty, coming off a bye weekend, is ranked No. 23 in both the Associated Press and USA Today/AFCA Coaches poll this week.

The Flames received their first-ever FBS national ranking in 2020 with a No. 25 ranking in the Associated Press poll for Week 10 of the college football season (Nov. 1).

Liberty would eventually be ranked in the national polls for seven weeks during the 2020 regular season. The Flames finished the magical year with a 10-1 record and a 37-34 overtime win over No. 9 Coastal Carolina in the Cure Bowl.

Liberty was ranked No. 17 in the final Associated Press poll and No. 18 in the last USA Today Coaches poll in 2020, which was the Flames’ last national ranking.

On Oct. 22, Liberty defeated BYU, 41-14, before 24,012 fans in a nationally televised game on ESPNU, giving the Flames their fifth win in a row.
