Is it all the coaches who left? Is it uninspired playing because of the opponents/destination? 

I want to believe the AAC is a decent conference. I even was slowly starting to buy into the P6 narrative. It's hard to keep the faith when we're getting destroyed in head to heads by what should be inferior opponents. 

Were we (conference) winning head to heads against teams who weren't truly good? Did we lose some swagger in the off weeks? Is there something about the bowl match ups that the records aren't showing? Help me understand why the conference is falling flat on its face this bowl season.

So Temple wins the conference and gets to play a 6-6 Wake Forest? I feel like we got the better bowl game. Sucks for the AAC though.

Time for acceptance. The American is a weak conference.

Temple getting beat up by wake 31-10 at half. As afar as why the AAC is struggling the coaches leaving (temple, houston) have a part to do with it but injuries have played a major part in it. (navy) Tulsa so far has the only win and uff wasn't ready for a bowl game this year which is why they struggled

Gotta believe it's the turmoil in the coaching.

Yeah 31 points in a half. In the regular season the most points allowed by Temple was 35, and only 3 teams scored 30 or more.

Houston's players loved their coach, just like Temple.

Now, ucf lost their game, that's just because their team sucks.  :roflmao:

    Last I checked the scoreboard doesn't have a spot for current bank balance on it.
