College Football 2018 Season Preview: The AAC.

I'm going to start the Group of 5 with the American Athletic Conference, who I think has one of the best chances of placing a team in the "here's a bread crumb so you don't sue us" New Year's Six game that's been reserved just to shut them all up.

Unlike the Power 5 I'm not going to delve that deeply into each team.

Conference Standings:
East		W	L	West		W	L
South Florida		10	2	Memphis		12	0
UCF		9	3	Tulane		8	4
Temple		8	4	Navy		8	5
Cincinnati		5	7	Houston		6	6
East Carolina		2	10	SMU		4	8
Connecticut		2	10	Tulsa		3	9

Most Overrated:	Houston
Coaches on Hot Seat:	Houston, SMU, Connecticut, Cincinnati, East Carolina, SMU

Best Team: Memphis and I don't think it's that close.

Thing to watch: Gaze upon and marvel at Houston's all-world JR DT Ed Oliver as he plays his last college football season before moving on to the NFL Draft, where he'll probably be the first player taken.  After watching him play for two years he IS as good as the hype.  Houston's team on the other hand?  There's a reason I put Houston HC Major Applewhite on my "hot seat" list.

Overrated because of last year TOTY: UCF, but they're not as overrated as Houston.  UCF had a magical year and then lost a ton of talent on both offense and defense, and their head coach. They still have talent, but I don't even think they're the best team in their division this year.

Former good team ruined by Tommy Tuberville: Cincinnati. Man he ruined this program. It should be a crime what he did.

Open Questions: Can Tulsa beat Central Arkansas to open the season? I have them winning, but I wouldn't be shocked if they lose.

When will Tulane find an offense? I think it's this year. Their head coach is too good for them not to surprise sometime soon.

Why shouldn't you consider this a P6WER conference like they say?  Because the middle and bottom of this conference is WEAK.  And they have a bad record playing Power 5 Conferences outside of NY Bowl Games.
