Some of you are new or just joining from CUSA. I thought it would be helpful to list all of the AAC bowls to see where your school might be playing in the future. So called "P5" opponents bolded.

Other pertinent info:
the American champion finishes as the highest-ranked team among the champions of Conference USA, the Mountain West Conference, the Mid-American Conference and the Sun Belt Conference, but does not qualify for the College Football Playoff, then it would participate in one of the three Host Bowls that will comprise part of the CFP rotation – the AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic, the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl or the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
Beyond the access to the College Football Playoff, bowl affiliations from the 2014 to 2019 seasons are as follows.
The first five bowls listed will be part of a pool from which the Conference will place its teams. Bowl games will be placed based on best fit for the Conference and its membership.
NOTE: I bolded the above, because it sounds like out highest priority bowls to fill are the top 5 listed for each year. That would be the Birmingham, St Pete, Miami BB, Military, Armed Forces/Hawaii. 4 of which have at least a partial "P5" tie, and the other (MBB) apparently has an escape clause to pick a "P5".
