That way it comes down to Cincy and Memphis with the two best records and since we beat Cincy, we would be the champ!
From the AAC site ->
2014 Regular Season Tiebreaker Procedure: For the 2014 season, the American Athletic Conference Football Champion will be the team that finishes the regular season with the highest winning percentage in conference games. If more than one team has the same winning percentage, the tied teams are declared co-champions.
Doesn't matter with me if we win outright or tie, I will be thrilled to be able to call our team FB champs.
Yeah I knew that. But wouldn't it make sense that if it came down to two teams that had played each other, the winner of that game would be champ?
It usually would, but that's not the way it's set up this year. We would be co-champs. Period.
Reason is there are no divisions, and we have unbalanced schedules. Once we get to divisions, you at least play everybody in your division, THEN, if you tie one of them for the division title, head to head will count, starting next year.
But this year, it was just a coincidence we played Cincy, so, according to the rules, it doesn't count as a tiebreaker.
It's actually the right thing to do. But Cincy still has to play ECU, Houston and Temple. ECU and UCF have to play, too. So I wouldn't put a lot of thought into it just yet, lol.
HOWEVER, if UC beats ECU, ECU beats UCF, and Temple or Houston beats UC, AND we win out, then you won't have to worry about it, lol.

Houston goes down...and then there were 4. AAC Champ Race
