The American Athletic Conference or AAC is the most underrated Conference in college football. The AAC always provides one surprise team usually UCF, Houston, or Cincinnati. UCF who went totally undefeated nearly two years in a row had a very convincing case for the college football playoffs in 2017 and have continued dominating the AAC look to have another strong year.
Here are my predictions for the upcoming AAC football season.
