Five of the 12 teams in the AAC won 4 games or less last year.
If this was a regular year, I'd confidently state that Houston will be in the running for the championship this year. However---who knows whats going to happen with Covid, forfeits, shut downs, etc. I mean---at any point you could be shut down and not be able to practice for a week or two. This year is going to be just too weird to really predict.
It was frustrating that we got Houston at full strength (or nearly) with king still playing and everyone else got your b team.
True, but you get the credit for making King quit and Houston 'cougin it 2019 style.
God I was pulling for UConn to beat them after King pulled that junk....
