AAC Championship divisional/Host tiebreakers
I have not seen anything mentioned about this to this point. A long ways away, but I could see both divisions potentially needing a tiebreaker.

Some interesting notes on the host site.

For some reason their is some outside force(weather) preventing a CCG from being played their will be co champs(not likely at all).

If the host team can not play the game at their place it will go to the other team participating in the CCG. This most likely applies to USF Temple or anyone else who shares a stadium or also use their facilities for concerts ect....(also not likely)

But all in all seems pretty standard. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I left out section 3 to condense the post. It was about teams with postseason bans. Not applicable to any off our football* teams this year.



POLICY MANUAL

A team(s) that is not eligible to participate in postseason play as a result of NCAA or American Conference sanctions shall not be eligible to participate in the American Conference football championship game.
