When you look at the American Athletic Conference’s bowl slate, it’s all rather impressive. Houston is going to the Peach Bowl as the Group of Five’s highest ranked team and Tulsa is in the Independence Bowl because the bottom of the SEC was so terrible. The same goes for Cincinnati and the Hawaii Bowl, as they are filling in for the Conference USA.
Overall, a whopping eight out of 12 AAC teams are going bowling this year and, quite frankly, you’d have to feel pretty silly if you didn’t go to a postseason game in this conference. So too do I for how all of this played out compared to my preseason expectations.
