The American Athletic Conference is also a god-awful conference

Talent-wise. North Texas, Charlotte, Tulane, Memphis, East Carolina, Rice, Florida Atlantic, South Florida, Tulsa, UT San Antonio, Temple, and Alabama Birmingham. Half the conference is out of any bowl contention. Good for Army and Navy for being undefeated thus far. But I don’t think they could have found 12 other trashier football programs with whom to form a conference.

Can an undefeated Army or Navy get that 4th bye in the playoffs?
I85Hokie • 10/14/24 12:30 PM ET
tickets to the army navy game are the most expensive ticket i've ever seen
kingofcassell • 10/14/24 11:39 AM ET
Party because its in DC, close to so many DoD facilities**
MDHokie79 • 10/14/24 02:59 PM ET
Great to see Army and Navy undefeated
Hokie1992 • 10/14/24 11:17 AM ET
True but the closest game has been 17 pts and 30 pt diff/game for season
BamBam • 10/14/24 01:59 PM ET
I have no idea how the AAC Championship works, but...
JoesterVT • 10/14/24 11:24 AM ET
Yep, their regular season game doesn't count in the conference standings**
BROman Hokie • 10/14/24 11:26 AM ET
Couldn’t they just agree to play for the title on their already-scheduled
hokiepro • 10/14/24 09:42 PM ET
Army-Navy game has its own TV contract, doesn't it? No way to do that.
reestuart • 10/15/24 11:56 AM ET
If the CCG winner is a Top 5 conference champ, Game #2 would be important**
