Really would've expected Army at Cincy since both are ranked teams (and we know people like to watch the service academies). UCF at ECU quite likely will be a blowout. But I guess they didn't want to have to replace that 3:30eastern ESPN game (though they could've just slotted UCF in there). I'm guessing that win and ratings over Ga Tech really propelled this team, and I'm getting the feeling that UCF is starting to be the ESPN (ABC) media darlings of late.

I was shocked that we were on ESPN+ from the jump. We were speculating on another thread that ESPN was doing it to get an early subscription bump. With UCF's recent success, coupled with their enrollment, this game now represents two of the larger AAC fanbases (and don't read this as a knock on teams like Houston/Navy. Those teams would also be big draws if paired up with either of us, and I'd also be surprised if those games were on +).
