Cross-divisional games should not be played the last two weeks of the regular season for obvious reasons. Will be weird if we end up playing Cincy back to back weeks. Hope the conference changes this in the future.

There will be no divisions next year.

Every good team has come to Memphis and NO UCF
SMU, NAVY and CINCI all at home. The scheduling gods have smiled on us.

You might think that in a snapshot, but we caught UCF with their two best teams ever and missed them when they had losing records and even this year they are a little down and we miss them. It is nobody's fault but we did not get lucky with UCF scheduling over the last few years.

That's fine, just don't put cross division teams in the final game of the season.

Makes you wonder; if both teams have clinched their divisions; and Memphis and Cincy are the highest ranked Group of 5 teams by far; do you play to win the last game, or not show them anything and leave it all out in the Championship game ???

Not very likely since the winner of the last regular season game would LIKELY get home field in the AAC title game.

FYP
Still quite a few scenarios.
But, yeah, playing for home field is the most likely scenario at this point.
