Rankings from AP Poll

The 1943 Memphis Naval Air Technical Training Center Bluejackets football team represented the United States Navy's Memphis Naval Air Technical Training Center (Memphis NAATC), located in Millington, Tennessee during the 1943 college football season. After starting with a 2–0 record, the rest of the Memphis NAATC's games were abruptly cancelled on October 10, 1943 when the Navy ruled that the NAS could not play at Crump Stadium in Memphis, Tennessee, and so no longer had an adequate playing field to conduct the remainder of their contests. The team was ranked in the first three AP Polls of the 1943 season, but was eventually dropped from the rankings on October 25, 1943.

In the final Litkenhous Ratings, Memphis NAATC ranked tenth among the nation's college and service teams with a rating of 108.3.
