Well I did not foresee this coming into bowl season, because I thought the AAC was VERY strong, but according to ESPN's matchup predictor, every team is expected to lose. There are a few games where I am calling shenanigans here. I fully expect Navy, Temple, and Memphis to take care of business vs Pitt, Toledo, and Auburn respectively with 70% chances to win. With slightly less confidence, but still confidence, (depending on which team shows up) I think Cincinnati beats San Diego St. SDSU benefited from not only going through a terrible down year in the MWC, but also the weaker side of the MWC, where their stiffest competition was Nevada. SDSU also had a very bad loss to South Alabama. I give them 60% chance to win.

Now here is where things get dicey. USF is playing so hot right now, but can that continue against a good WKU team? I think yes, and give us the next best odds to win at 58%. Call me crazy, but I also believe that Tulsa beats VT, and give them a 52% chance to win. I think the only team the American needs to worry about is UConn vs Marshall. How did THAT match up come to be? Yikes. I give UConn a lowly 38% chance to win.

And for the peach bowl, I think Houston is better than the nation gives them credit for. I sincerely think they are the #11 team in the country. And as USF showed, FSU is nothin more than the Fightin' Dalvin Cooks. I give Houston a 56% chance to win. Call me a homer, but I like the AAC's chances to come out of bowl season with a 6-1 record. What do you guys think?

I think most of the games are winnable for the AAC outside of Houston and Tulsa.. Every other matchup seems pretty even or in our favor..

Definitely within the realm of possibility to lose all of those lol. I dont really see a CLEAR winner from the AAC in there. Although that is what makes them good.
