Last year, American Athletic Conference media picked Cincinnati to win the 2015 conference title. Tom Herman responded with a 13-1 record as his team captured AAC gold and a Peach Bowl victory over Florida State in his first year with the team.
It looks like the media learned its lesson, as it almost unanimously crowned Houston to repeat as conference champions this fall.

Houston plays Oklahoma in the first game of the season. Should the Coogs upset the Sooners and win the AAC in another dominating run — thankfully they play UCONN at home this year — Tom Herman's team will have quite the case for making the playoffs.
