The AAC championship race will likely be defined by the results of three games this season. One transpires Saturday afternoon at the Bounce House in the eighth meeting between Cincinnati and UCF. The other two pivotal matchups are Tulane’s upcoming bouts against the teams squaring off in Orlando this weekend.
Cincinnati and UCF have formed one of the AAC’s best rivalries in recent history, and this battle will prolong as the teams move to the Big 12 in July. UCF dominated the series in the late 2010s, especially when the Knights were in the midst of their 19-game win streak over AAC opponents.
