Weak Conference Title there for the taking.

[Dhambuc]

The AAC is off to a horrible start already this opening weekend.  Watching the games so far, there is NO reason we shouldn't compete within the conference this year with a chance to go bowling or better. Tomorrow will be more telling when the rest play their games but here are the results so far this week:

1. UCF lost to FIU  15 - 14 at home

2. SMU got smacked around at home by Baylor 56-21

3. Tulane got beat by Duke at home 37-7 

4.UConn escaped with a 20- 15 win at home over Villanova.      

 

So far the conference is 1-3

 

This weekends remaining games include : (PREDICTIONS in parenthesis are for those who should win or lose from our conference teams)1. USF at home vs FAMU,(WIN)  2.  Navy at home vs Colgate(Win) , 3. Temple at home vs PSU,(loss in a closer game than many expect) , 4. Tulsa at home vs FAU( toss up wont be surprised if a loss here) 5.Towson at ECU(win), 6. Alabama A&M at Cincy(Win), 7. Missouri St at Memphis(Win), 8.Tennessee Tech at Houston(Win). 

 

I see 6 more Highly likely wins, (but not based on what the conference has shown the past 2 days) and 1 loss, 1 toss up game.   

 

Not the best showing for the American so far esp considering who our conference teams played.

This is what you can expect from the American

Other than the UCiF game, there really isn't much of a surprise in those results. Duke is far better than Tulane, SMU was lucky to keep it respectable for about a half or so, and UCONN was actually a 7 point home underdog on most betting sites for that game. We are however a weak conference, but I don't think the results so far are all that surprising.

You obviously didn't watch the SMU game. They were in it until midway in the third when their lack of depth showed. The Bulls are going to have to play better than they have in years to beat them.
