I believe Navy will win the West Div. and Cincinnati will win the East Div.
2015 CCG champions will be Cincinnati. ( 35 to 21 )

UCF vs. Houston

UCF wins. 3 peat

With my Black and Gold glasses on:
Memphis vs UCF

Without my Black and Gold glasses on:
Memphis vs Cincy

Depends on how our Defense comes together after losing 8 starters. I think we will still have a pretty good D, but we also lost our coordinator and our safeties coach, so we shall see. Our offense will be loaded like I've never seen though.

Its just hard to tell at this point in time, so I'll hold off on making a guess.

Memphis vs Cincy or Houston vs Cincy

Whelp there goes my pick for the West. I didn't realize you lost 8 starters on defense.

Guess I need to preseason magazines to come out to see how many starters everyone lost and how much is returning. I feel like UCF lost a lot of talent and losing our OC to retirement was a huge loss.

I think UC/UCF & Memphis. The top 4-5 AAC programs are very similar in recruiting. Coaching and injuries will be the deciding factor on who wins their divisions.

The East may prove to be too tough for the Pirates to win with a new QB, but I'm gonna pick us anyway because I always do.

ECU vs Houston

I'll say:

ECU-Memphis

Yes I'm being a homer, so what?

UC vs Navy

That's if Kiel stays healthy - if not, then UCF.

I don't see Navy having any problem adjusting to the AAC - they're used to playing a strong schedule - and it'll be interesting to see who can stop their running game.

If Navy stumbles though, then I see Memphis stepping up.

SMU 2016

Since USF is at the top of AAC every year in recruiting, I am going to predict that even Taggart can't screw it up as all the pieces finally come together.

Memphis vs Cincy

My darkhorse candidates are USF, Temple, and Houston.

It all will come down to the passing game. USF could be really good this season if they can air out.

UCF vs Memphis in the Liberty Bowl.

Winner will be the usual winner in these games.

I sure hope Taggart's so called spread works out, because I am getting sick and tired of 1 yard and a cloud of dust.

Can I do it like Phil Steele and pick like 8 different matchups?

I think Houston and Cincinnati.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Navy, Memhpis, UCF or ECU make it. I could fathom Temple or USF making it. I would be SHOCKED if Tulsa, Tulane, SMU, or UConn make it.

I have no clue. Like others, I have no idea how many starters return for anybody else.

The obvious answer lies somewhere in Houston, Memphis and Navy in the West, vs. UC, ECU or UCF in the East.

And losing starters isn't the only piece of the formula. I don't think Memphis will fall back as far as people think on D. We played 2 deep most of the season, so we have guys who can step in. Plus, we have a few Jucos coming in, including a couple who might start.

I have no idea which school UCF will face in the championship game.*

Shouldn't that be 2.5 peat?
