Welp. Houston is in. Which means that both UCF and UCF are likely out if they only go to 12. Our only shot is that they go to 14 and take USF & UCF, IMO. I just can't see them taking just one Florida school. 

But which one of them gets in if USF does?

Saw somewhere that Texas is okay with Houston now because Houston won't block them from having a campus of some sort in Houston. Something along those lines

Scheduling shouldn't be a nightmare with 10 teams. 9 conference games, 3 ooc .... with top 2 teams competing in the ccg. It's the most perfect way to crown a conf champion.

Not when two teams play each other in November and then play each other again two weeks later in the CCG.  Terrible stuff that the Big 12 is trying to figure out how to avoid and having all kinds of trouble.  There is a reason that everyone else went to at least 12 teams.

I think the AAC will be fine if we only lose Houston. The only problem this poses is making it harder to pick off Mountain West teams. We likely will have to take NIU, Toledo, MTSU, Army, or Marshall. I definitely don't want to see UMass or Charlotte move up as has been suggested. They are such terrible teams

Just rename the conference Big Texas and take Houston and Rice to get up to 12. This is idiotic if Houston makes it. At least, by this logic, we have a chance of getting into the ACC someday.

How is it a scheduling "nightmare"? A rematch could happen no matter what unless you have two divisions of 9 or 10 teams each. It's still the purest form of getting a true conference champion.

And just as an FYI, 3 of our last 4 games this year are against the West so obviously there wasn't much thought to the close rematch scenario when the AAC scheduled.

Cincy is basically a lock to go, too.  So that's two teams.

I think Big 12 goes to 12 teams with Houston and Cincy. American will pick up probably either Marshall, NIU, Charlotte, UMass, or Southern Miss.
