American Athletic Conference

Another conference, the American Athletic Conference has released its 2017 schedule.  A couple of highlights/thoughts:

1)  There are some quality non-conference matchups which include:  Tulsa at Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech at East Carolina, UCLA at Memphis, Texas Tech at Houston, UConn at Boston College (Fenway Park), and of course the Air Force at Navy and Navy vs. Army games

2)  I think that the two teams to beat will be South Florida and Tulsa.  USF will get some competition from Temple and Cincinnati, while Navy and Houston will be nipping at the Hurricanes' heels

3)  Not sure that I am accepting of Navy's alignment with a conference - I miss their independent schedule

4)  I am curious as to whether usa will be a Top 20 team.  They are going to give the Cowboys are run for their money

Now we just need the Mountain West schedule...
