AAC Football Week 9 Power Rankings, Schedule & Odds

AAC Power Rankings (Week 9)

Key: Power Ranking: Team (Current Record, +/-)

#12: UConn (1-6, -)

No surprise here. Huskies kept it close at home against Houston but no cigar. They’ll probably beat UMass this weekend, though.

#11: Tulsa (2-5, -)

The most penalized team in college football.

#10: South Florida (3-4, -2)

Had won two games in a row but their offense was totally shut down against Navy. On the other side, they really struggled against the triple-option. 

#9: Houston (3-4, +1) 

Coach’s son, Logan Holgorsen, led the Cougars to a win against UConn.

#8: East Carolina (3-4, +1)

One of the most fun teams to watch in the AAC despite their record.

#7: Tulane (5-2, -2)

All the fun ended against Memphis. It’s unacceptable for anyone besides UConn to lose by 30 in this league.

#6: Temple (5-2, -3)

SMU is the class of the AAC this year but the Owls couldn’t run the ball for anything. UCF-Temple is must-see TV this weekend.

#5: Navy (5-1, +2)

Riding a three-game winning streak. Their only loss was a 12-point defeat against Memphis. Defense is the only AAC unit allowing fewer than 20 points per game.

#4: Memphis (6-1, +2)

Took out their frustrations from the Temple game on Tulane.

#3: UCF (5-2, +1)

See above…except UCF’s frustrations were from Cincinnati and ECU was the team getting the beating.

#2: Cincinnati (6-1, -)

Defense is turning heads. They have forced 14 turnovers in three AAC games.

#1: SMU (7-0, -)

Another impressive outing from the Mustangs, beating a very good Temple team by four scores. Moved up to No. 16 in national rankings.
