2021 Memphis Tigers Football Season Preview

We are currently living in the midst of the greatest stretch of Memphis Tigers football since the 1960s. After a disappointing stint in the C-USA from 1996 to 2012, new potential was unleashed in this program when joining the American Athletic Conference in 2013. Save for their first season in the conference, the Tigers have not finished with a losing record since joining the AAC.

In the College Football Playoff era, Memphis owns a .714 winning percentage. The next closest AAC team is UCF at .644. The Tigers hold one conference title, three AAC Championship Game appearances, a New Year’s Six bowl appearance, two bowl victories, and three AP Top 25 finishes to their name in the past seven seasons.
