ECU - Navy, Battle for the High Seas
SMU - Tulsa, Red River Rumble
Tulane - Houston, The American Swamp Bowl
UC - Memphis, The Cat Fight on the River
UConn - Temple, The Battle on the Field(as opposed to hard court)yes that is a reach

Still is. They won two years ago due to a missed too many men on the field call. We paid them back last year by spanking their booty despite being a 1 win team to that point.

US Navy keeps kicking Pirate's teeth in. Not much of a rivalry.

You could call it The Rumble in the Northeast, The battle for the east, the Yankee bowl

side note here is some uconn hate for the temple board from last year https://247sports.com/college/temple/Boa...108588758/ ..lol

Makes me more interested in grabbing a win next time.

I for one am shocked the Battle for the Trident hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet. It's been thrown around as a half joke by Tulane's fan twitter, but the game with Navy has been one our fans have really liked since they joined. I'd love to see it as a set rivalry week game for us.

Honestly is it just me or is the conference testing out a possible set rivalry schedule this year? I don't hate it overall.

UCF-South Florida
ECU-Cincinnati
Houston-Memphis
Temple-UCONN
Navy-Tulane
SMU-Tulsa

This is what I would try given the current divisional layout. Obviously the only one you could call a true rivalry would be the two Florida schools but overtime I think something could develop out of this arrangement.

I think SMU and Houston are the most natural rivals in the AAC - same conference for 34 years, in-state and Dallas vs.Houston.

We just need to commit to a final game of the season for all teams and stick with it for a few years. I think Temple/Navy is a natural one due to their close proximity. Like UCF/USF, very easy to get to. After that it gets murky. SMU-Houston is a natural one but the Houston-Memphis games have been fire recently. I'll go with these:


UCF-USF
Navy-Temple
UCONN-Cincinnati
Houston-SMU
Memphis-Tulsa
Tulane-ECU

The other variant I could see working:

UCF-USF
UCONN-Temple
Navy-ECU
Cincinnati-Memphis
Houston-SMU
Memphis-Tulane

I'm not sure that Memphis has a natural rivalry in the conference but the teams we've played the most times are Cincinnati, Tulane, Tulsa, Houston, and East Carolina. The non-conference teams we've played the most are Southern Mississippi, Ole Miss, Louisville, Mississippi State, and Tennessee.

Memphis gets 2 rivals and Tulsa gets none? No fair!

If you want to finish the season with the same match-ups every year, you can't make any of those games cross-divisional.
