Main News

The SMU Mustangs have secured one spot in the AAC championship game after defeating Navy. They will play for the conference title on December 2.

The second spot will be determined by the result of the game between the Tulane Green Wave and the UTSA Roadrunners. If Tulane wins, they will claim the spot and face SMU in the championship. A Tulane loss would open the opportunity for the South Florida Bulls to take the second spot.

South Florida’s path to the championship game is contingent on a Tulane loss. The Bulls must also win their own final regular season game against the Charlotte 49ers to have a chance.

Summary

SMU has clinched its place in the AAC championship game following a victory over Navy. The team awaits its opponent, which will be decided in the final week of conference play.

South Florida’s playoff hopes are entirely dependent on Tulane losing its final game. The Bulls must also secure a victory against Charlotte to capitalize on that scenario.
