AAC Football Week 5 Power Rankings, Schedule & Odds

AAC Power Rankings (Week 5)

Key: Power Ranking: Team (Current Record) (National Ranking) (+/- Last Week)

#12: UConn (1-2) (125) (-)

Huge dogs this weekend against UCF.

#11: East Carolina (2-2) (117) (-)

Looked mediocre at home against FCS school last week.

#10: South Florida (1-2) (88) (-)

Freshman QB Jordan McCloud will face first real test this week against SMU.

#9: Tulsa (2-2) (86) (-)

One of the most penalized teams in college football.

#8: Houston (1-3) (49) (-2) 

Program reeling after news that starting QB D’Eriq King and No.1 receiver Keith Corbin will redshirt.

#7: Temple (2-1) (67) (-4)

The Jekyll & Hyde of the AAC. 

#6: Navy (2-0) (62) (+2)

Haven’t played anyone yet but their defense has allowed just 17 points in two games. Primetime Thursday game vs. Memphis is a must-watch AAC matchup.

#5: Cincinnati (2-1) (42) (+2)

Running back group may be the best in AAC.

#4: Tulane (3-1) (40) (+1)

Really nice to see Tulane’s football program legitimately competitive again.

#3: Memphis (3-0) (31) (-1)

QB Brady White having another solid season. Potentially the best in the AAC.

#2: SMU (4-0) (35) (+2)

Huge upset win over #25 TCU last week. First time they’ve started 4-0 in 36 years.

#1: UCF (3-1) (13) (-)

Tough loss against Pitt last week. Real shame there isn’t an UCF-SMU game this year.
