A win is a win.
It may not be the case for the College Football Playoff standings, as style points are always welcome, but when it comes down to the objective AAC standings, the Tulane Green Wave took care of business Saturday.
On paper, it was the most lopsided matchup possible in the AAC. Tulane entered with its name embellished by a national ranking and strolled into Greenville, NC toting a 7-1 record. Meanwhile, East Carolina woke up Saturday as one of four teams without an FBS win, plagued by a 1-7 record with bowl eligibility out of reach.
