That's where I stand. Winning the AAC is steep hill to climb.

I forgot where I saw it but someone said I think 2019 was the only season where the AAC championship had a 2 conference loss team.

Cincy loses against UCF hurts us. Tulane has multple hard games, we have fate in our hands against Houston. We need Cincy or UCF to end up with 3 losses, and I don't think that happens now unless the UCF QB gets hurt.

Only route to Champ game is UCF wins out, SMU wins out and then we have a puncher's chance with a lot of help from other teams.

In that scenario, SMU would have an H2H advantage over UH and Tulane, but Cincinnati would need to lose to ECU & Tulane and would likely need UH to beat ECU. http://theamerican.org/standings.aspx?standings=92

This is definitely one route. There are others but they are less likely given the statistical probability of loss for Cincinnati and UCF. Example, UCF loses to Tulane and Navy. They're out... not saying that is likely but it's a scenario. Tulane definitely has the hardest 3 week stretch to close the season.

Tulane has the kind of November schedule previously reserved for SMU

Luck of the draw....we beat Tulane and Cincinnati beats Tulane we have the tie breaker. Houston needs to beat ECU. We need a lot of help... we could end up playing UCF, Cincinnati or Tulane depending on how things play out. More than likely all that help doesn't occur and we end up in a decent bowl game even if we win out.

I believe even if we win out Temple and Tulane have to beat Cincinnati for us to play in conference championship game.

Hoyt posted a way for a 5 team tie which would be really bizarre.
