That'll play.

4 Voters had us third in the division...wonder who they put in front of us?

I'd guess USF and maybe 1 vote for Temple (Marc Narducci from the Philadelphia Inquirer). USF always gets a lot of support from the media going back to the mid 2000s as does Charlie Strong.

I suspect it will be this way most years.....

That's fair. UCF is the favorite until proven otherwise.

Agreed. UCF has a big question mark at QB though. This might be the year to overtake the Knights in the division.

Exciting thought to host the AAC championship game in Nippert with the access bowl berth on the line.

We probably have the toughest in-conference schedule.

UC's cross-division opponents are @Houston, @Memphis, and home against Tulsa.
