Two teams tied for first in their respective divisions of the American Athletic Conference will be pitted against each other this weekend, its just not who you might expect. The 5-0 Cincinnati Bearcats will host the Tulane Green Wave, who just upset Memphis this past weekend in their league opener.
Entering the season, expecting this to be a matchup between two conference contenders would have seemed outlandish, but that’s where we are. However, now that we have made it through five weeks of the season, there is a lot more data out there and that means projections will become a bit more accurate.
