Mustangs To Host Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis & Navy in 2020
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (The American/SMU) – The American Athletic Conference today announced the scheduling model for conference games during the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Each team in The American will match up with each conference opponent at least once during the two-year cycle.
The Mustangs will host Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis and Navy in 2020, with road games at ECU, Temple, Tulane and Tulsa. They will not face UCF and USF. Dates and times will be determined later.
In 2021, UCF, USF, Tulane and Tulsa will visit Ford Stadium, while road games include return trips to Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis and Navy. ECU and Temple are not scheduled.
Beginning in 2020, the conference will not have a divisional format and will feature 11 football-playing institutions after the departure of Connecticut from the league. Each team will play four home and four road contests each season. The conference will determine the procedures for determining the participants in the American Athletic Conference Football Championship at a later date.
"This scheduling model provides balance and competitive equity and will contribute to the exciting seasons to which we have become accustomed in the American Athletic Conference," said league commissioner Mike Aresco. "It is a fair model that was unanimously supported by our athletic directors."
Previously announced non-conference games in 2020 and 2021 include match-ups with TCU at Ford Stadium on Sept. 26, 2020 and in Fort Worth Sept. 25, 2021.
