The Knights also secured their second consecutive undefeated regular season and American Athletic Conference title by defeating Memphis in the 2018 AAC Championship game, a rematch of the 2017 game.[1]Seven teams participated in bowl games during the 2018 season; the league went 2\u20135.Tulane defeated Louisiana 41\u201324 in the 2018 Cure Bowl.[2] USF lost to Marshall, 38\u201320, in the Gasparilla Bowl.[3] Memphis lost to Wake Forest 38\u201335 in the 2018 Birmingham Bowl.[4] Houston lost to Army 70\u201314 in the Armed Forces Bowl.[5] In this game, Army tied records for the largest victory margin and most points scored in an FBS bowl game.[6] Temple lost to Duke 56\u201327 in the Independence Bowl.[7] Cincinnati defeated Virginia Tech 35\u201331 in the Military Bowl.[8]In the New Year’s Six Game, No. 8 UCF lost to No. 11 LSU 40\u201332 in the Fiesta Bowl.[9]Preseason[edit]Impending departure of UConn[edit]The most significant development in the conference during the 2019 preseason was the announcement that UConn would leave The American after the 2019\u201320 school year to join several of its former conference rivals in the current non-football iteration of the Big East Conference. The move was first reported on June 21, 2019, by a Boston-area sports news website and quickly picked up by national media outlets.[10][11] On June 27, the Big East and UConn jointly confirmed the Huskies’ impending conference move, but that announcement did not specify a date.[12] The Huskies’ Big East entrance date was confirmed for July 1, 2020 after UConn and The American reached a buyout agreement. At the time this agreement was announced, UConn also announced that its football team would become an FBS independent once it joined the Big East.[13]Recruiting classes[edit]RankingsTeamESPN[14]Rivals[15]24\/7[16]Cincinnati7879East Carolina8275Houston9772Memphis705966Navy82123SMU656969South Florida726578Temple104Tulane9195Tulsa109UCF505557UConn126American Athletic Conference Media Days[edit]The American Athletic Conference conducted its 2019 American Athletic Conference media day on July 17 in Newport, Rhode Island.[17]Preseason Media Poll[edit]The preseason Poll was released at the 2019 American Media Day on July 16, 2019.EastPredicted finishTeamVotes (1st place)1UCF169 (17)2Cincinnati157 (11)3South Florida1074Temple1015East Carolina666UConn30WestPredicted finishTeamVotes (1st place)1Memphis165 (15)2Houston162 (14)3Tulane1084SMU87 (1)5Navy706Tulsa38American Champion VotingUCF (12)Cincinnati (8)Memphis (6)Houston (4)Head coaches[edit]Coaching changes[edit]On November 29, 2018, East Carolina fired head coach Scottie Montgomery.

Although the NCAA does not consider BYU a “Power Five” school, the ACC considers games against BYU as satisfying its “Power Five” scheduling requirement. Though the American does not consider BYU a power 5 team they consider them an equally strength opponent.

Sports (Yahoo!).Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I-FBS football and Division I men’s basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources.  The system consists of three points for a first-team honor, two points for second-team honor, and one point for third-team honor.  Honorable mention and fourth team or lower recognitions are not accorded any points.  Football consensus teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named first team consensus all-American.  Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans. Any player named to the First Team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is deemed a Unanimous All-American.[22][23]PositionPlayerSchoolSelectorUnanimousConsensusFirst Team All-AmericansDLQuincy RocheTempleSIPositionPlayerSchoolSelectorUnanimousConsensusThird Team All-AmericansCMatt HennessyTempleAP*AFCA All-America Team (AFCA)*Walter Camp Football Foundation All-America Team (WCFF)*Associated Press All-America Team (AP)*The Sporting News All-America Team (TSN)*Football Writers Association of America All-America Team (FWAA)*Sports Illustrated All-America Team (SI)*Bleacher Report All-America Team (BR)*College Football News All-America Team (CFN)*ESPN All-America Team (ESPN)*CBS Sports All-America Team (CBS)*Athlon Sports All-America Team (Athlon)National award winners[edit]2019 College Football Award WinnersNFL Draft[edit]The following list includes all AAC players who were drafted in the 2020 NFL draft.References[edit]^ “UCF Vs Memphis Score No 8 Knights Rally Past Tigers For Second Consecutive AAC Title”.
