The American Athletic Conference, better known as the AAC, is comprised of 11 teams. Those 11 teams play within one division, and the top two teams play in the AAC Title game prior to bowl games being set.
Last season, Cincinnati went on a run for the ages, not only winning the conference with ease, but also making the College Football Playoff as a non-Power 5 team. They won the conference by defeating the Houston Cougars 35-20 at home in Nippert Stadium.
2022 will feature a much tighter title race, as Cincinnati has lost a lot of players to the NFL. UCF and Houston will be right in the thick of things throughout the year, as much like the Bearcats, Houston will be situated in the Top 25 to start the season.

2022 AAC Football Conference Predictions
The Knights will not start the season in the Top 25, but that isn't stopping the fact that they top the odds in the AAC Title race. They will have one of the easiest schedules of the entire conference, as they have only the 47th hardest schedule in Division 1.
