Grading every AAC football program since its inception.

We’ve had 4 seasons of AAC football, and while in most college football circles it’s viewed as the “Big East 2.0” conference realignment has drastically affected the college football prospects for each of these schools, good and bad. Let’s take a look at how each program has fared since the 2013 season when the conference formed (in alphabetical order).

The Bearcats started off strong in the AAC, with consecutive 9-4 seasons, but stumbled the last two years under Tommy Tuberville. The team was also beaten handily in 3 straight bowl appearances from 2013-2015.

Outside of a 6-7 season that saw them go to a bowl game, UConn hasn’t had more than 3 wins a season in the first 4 years in the AAC.
