Bowl Matchups for American Conference

[PonyTime]

With as bad as the AAC has been this year - looks like 4-1 or even 5-0 could be a possibility in the Bowl games...

8-4 ECU vs 6-5 Florida in Birmingham - Have to wonder how pumped up the Gators are going to be going to the Hood of Birmingham Bowl to play ECU on Jan 3rd. I assume ECU will be pumped for this.

My Pick - ECU

9-3 UCF vs 7-5 NC State in St. Petersburg. UCF essentially with a home game (about an hour and half drive).

My Pick - UCF

9-3 Memphis vs 8-4 BYU in Miami - wasn't Memphis one of the absolute worst teams in the AAC about a year ago - surprised at the quick turnaround.

My Pick - BYU

9-3 Cincy vs. 6-6 VA Tech in Annapolis

My Pick - Cincy (though I am not as confident about this one)

7-5 Hou vs 6-6 Pitt in Ft. Worth. This is every bit as exciting as the SMU-Pitt matchup in B-ham.

My Pick - HOU

On another note - How is a 6-7 Fresno state team playing in a bowl game (Hawaii Bowl vs Rice)?

Wrong. BYU will lose to Memphis.

NCAA waiver allows participants of conference championship games to participate in a bowl game even if they lose the game and subsequently have a sub .500 record. See UCLA in 2011.

Wrong. BYU will lose to Memphis.

It's impossible for a prediction to be wrong before the event occurs.

Unless he has the sports almanac that has the results of the next several years much like in Back to the Future II.

Perhaps he has one of these...

AAC will do well to win 3 of 5. Let's hope our conference mates can represent because we could just as easily go 1-4. I think UCF gives us the best chance for a "sure thing"
