Yes. Good pointThat ACL was in her elbow. Not sure why some egghead posters are being so obtuse about the AAC. 32 conferences and the AAC was ranked 6th in the nation. About to rocket ahead of the ACC. Power 6 baby. Oops, thought it was an ACL, not a UCL. Not sure why you have to be so defensive about the AAC in every single one of your posts, you have issues

So disrespectful and snotty to post a team's record with and without a key player? Or perhaps disrespectful and snotty to post snarky comments in a self-admitted Dice Clay voice? I mean, c'mom InTheKnow , we do have brains and can see just plainly.

SMU and Tulane were close. SMU had a really good libero and setter, but their biggest issue was lacking someone to terminate. Tulane was a roller-coaster type team last year. They were the only to team to sweep Cincinnati last season, but they also had some down moments. They dealt with more injuries than maybe any other AAC team as well. Tulane was good at blocking but their ball control was just abysmal sometimes -- especially when Heidelberg was out. Tulsa was also close for a while, but over the last few weeks of the season they played themselves out of NCAA contention. They had an amazing libero (Horsfall) but they didn't have enough offense on the right-side and were too reliant on the Turkish freshman Gedikoglu (who now has transferred to Arizona). They do have a really good returning MB in Callie Cook. I am concerned for the overall level of the AAC in 2020. UCF will be good - I don't have a doubt there. But anyone else is really questionable. SMU returns a ton as their entire team was nearly underclassmen this year. Cincinnati will have Mallon, but they can't recover from losing a World-Class player like Jordan Thompson. Tulane has to improve its setting and ball control. Houston is interesting, I think they could have a potential to surprise in 2020. Tulsa might have a struggle season as well. I think Wichita State has a chance to get back on or near the top of the conference next year. Civita should be back, right? I think flyingMoose usually knows the scoop on the Shockers.

^^^ Superb analysis. Civita should be back after the medical redshirt year.

How many teams went to the tournament from the AAC this year? Two. Hah, I confess I knew the answer. I was kind of making the point that there are other measurements of conference strength besides overall RPI. The Big West sent three teams to the tournament this year and as such could lay claim to being ahead of the AAC. On more important topics though, thanks for that recap. I thoroughly appreciate it. I too am interested to see who will rise to challenge UCF in the Fall. Much like the AAC, when I look at the BW I see a lot of question marks behind the consensus #1 team.

Agree UCF will be a steady performer, USF will be better than last year, Tulsa and Wichita State will both improve this year I believe .
