I think the point of this post is saying that UCF is the only team in the conference that doesn't have to stuff their underwear.

Hindsight is always 20/20 but it would be an interesting storyline if Tulane wins next week and then goes on to become the torch bearer for the new version of the AAC. This would be sort of a passing of the torch. Obviously hoping UCF wins, but Tulane has been a great story this year with all that program has been through.

Memphis:

With Ryan Silverfield in charge, we'll be middle of the pack even with all the new weaker additions. We'll get 7-8 wins next year.

@ appearence with the altered representing the 2022 participants

Pretty even split between the top four with Navy and Temple having fallen behind after pretty good starts, eight teams have played in the championship game in the eight years it has existed. UCF is a nose in front of everyone else and probably can make a legit claim that would be hard to argue with if they win this one. It's a really small sample and probably says more about individual coaches than programs because of the size of sample.

Between 2014 and 2022, the similarities between the conference records of UCF, Cincinnati, Houston, and Memphis are striking.

Memphis will be king

I think too much emphasis is put on brands and too many folks equate brands with good football, but I think the AAC just may be alright going forward in making new brands successful.

UTSA is a great addition. Large public school in a major city and their alumni care about the program.

8 yrs ago I thought it was gonna be smooth sailing.
