Wichita State has a lot of questions. Cincy can be very good. If Thompson is at her normal level, they are easily in the tournament Temple has a lot of questions but I think their fresh S is pretty talented. South Florida could make some noise, but not enough to warrant a tournament bid, I think ECU returns the FOY and adds the Minny transfer, maybe they'll gel Some of Witchita State's questions may be answered on Sept 1 when they take on Stanford @ 11am MDT followed by BYU at 8pm in Provo. Not likely they can win either of these matches, but can they be competitive? The first weekend will be a better test in itself with three lower ranked tournament teams. VCU was legit last year and I don't think they lost much. Will be a good chance for their young lineup to see where they are at before going after the elite.

Way to go out on a limb there. Wichita State has a lot of questions. Cincy can be very good. If Thompson is at her normal level, they are easily in the tournament Temple has a lot of questions but I think their fresh S is pretty talented. South Florida could make some noise, but not enough to warrant a tournament bid, I think ECU returns the FOY and adds the Minny transfer, maybe they'll gel Interesting take. Agree Wichita has many questions. After closer look Cinci could definitely beat them for the #1 spot. Don’t think much of USF or ECU. ECU loses a good Leftside and middle. They pulled out several close matches but I think they move down. UCF is mostly unknown. Likely middle of pack.

You don't think Kleinman is going to do good things for East Carolina?
We'll see how much Jac'Cara can do for the Bulls now that she's back home

For all you American lovers here’s a thread to discuss all things AAC. (Or for the haters to do what they do) Going to be an exciting season. Will Wichita St repeat after losing several key players? Will SMU, Cinci, Temple challenge them? I think so. What teams make major moves up: Tulsa, Tulane, UCF? Does Memphis improve with new coach? Was ECU a one year wonder? How many make the tournament? 2 maybe 3 I suspect. Do they start the conference tournament this year? Let the banter begin and make America great again! How many make it to Minneapolis?

Pre-season poll:
2018 Preseason Coaches’ Poll Place School Points First Place Votes 1. Wichita State 113 6 2. Cincinnati 108 5 3. Temple 106 1 4. SMU 94 5. UCF 74 6. Tulsa 70 7. ECU 68 8. Houston 44 9. USF 41 10. Tulane 33 11. UConn 29 12. Memphis 12
About what I expected. Wichita dominated last year so not surprised they are picked #1. But Cinci and Temple are more talented this year in my opinion. Looks like the coaches also think ECU won’t be that good either. They’ll compete but not a top 5 team. Even with the transfer. I think Tulsa and Tulane make big moves up.

Best start in the 6 year history of the AAC. Young teams in the league this year. Should make some noise and some bigtime noise next year!

The AAC is no match for the mighty ducks. And farts are only violent for a short period of time before they wither away.

Sort of like Iowa fans talking trash after losing to an ASUN team? But congrats on 2-1
