Podcasts about American Athletic Conference

The college football world is buzzing to start this new week after the 12-team College Football Playoff teams were announced at midday Sunday. Just two years ago, 13-0 Florida State got jobbed. Alabama was selected as the final playoff team over the Seminoles as much of the nation booed in protest. Last year, Alabama was left behind after ACC runner-up 11-2 SMU was deemed more worthy of the final spot than a 10-2 Alabama team in the first-ever 12-team playoff field. Bama fans were understandably disappointed about being left out.  Some of us felt like it was a fitting payback from Alabama’s exceptional good fortune in the previous year. This year, the stars fell on Alabama once again. The Crimson Tide’s 10-3 record was deemed more impressive than 10-2 Notre Dame and a few other worthy two-loss competitors. Notre Dame became so angry about Sunday’s playoff slight than the Fighting (Mad) Irish have refused to accept any other bowl game invitation this holiday season (more on that later). How did we get here? From January, 1999 through January, 2014, the BCS Championship game was played one or two days after the traditional New Year’s Day games.  The major polls plus the computerized BCS ranking system determined the two top teams to play for the national title once the regular season and conference championship games concluded. Yes, those WERE the good ol’ days! A new four-team College Football Playoff system began in January, 2015.  This time, the top four teams (selected by a 13-member College Football Playoff committee) would play a couple of semifinal games on New Year’s Day.  The two winners faced-off about one week later to play for the national championship. The College Football Playoff committee (which rotates new members every three years) has been comprised primarily of current and former college athletic directors and football coaches. Can you believe that this group of 13 people meets (all expenses paid) up to ten times per football season? A more subtle but influential impact occurred when Disney’s ESPN unit purchased the exclusive rights to televise the College Football Playoff games. That move required college football fans to subscribe to cable television or a paid streaming services company to watch the two semifinals along with the championship game.  More recently, ESPN began to offer the College Football Playoff games via its own streaming service (at a monthly cost, of course). One year ago, a new 12-team College Football Playoff system was introduced. The expanded playoffs were expected to reduce the amount of fan complaining about the team(s) not selected for the 12th and final spot. If anything, the complaining about this 12-team playoff field has become even louder! On Saturday, two-loss Alabama just became the three-loss Crimson Tide. Bama lost a convincing 28-7 game to one-loss Georgia in the SEC championship in a nationally televised encounter for all to see. Yes, Alabama had defeated Georgia 24-21 – in Athens – earlier this season. Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, and Texas A&M all finished 7-1 in the SEC regular season standings.  A series of tiebreakers gave the first and second place spots to Alabama and Georgia and a date to play in last Saturday’s SEC Championship game in Atlanta. Georgia dominated Saturday’s game from start to finish.  Alabama fans were rightfully concerned about being left out of the 12-team College Football Playoff field.  Several other worthy teams were available and under consideration. The following teams each had two losses and finished with a better season record than 10-3 Alabama: North Texas (11-2) – lost the American Athletic Conf. title game to Tulane 34-21 Brigham Young (11-2) – lost the Big 12 title game to Texas Tech 34-7 Miami (FL) (10-2) – finished in a five-way tie for second place in the ACC Notre Dame (10-2) – lost to Miami in its first game of 2025 (27-24) Vanderbilt (10-2) – lost two road games (at 10-3 Alabama and at 9-3 Texas) Utah (10-2) – lost two road games (at 12-1 Texas Tech and at 11-2 BYU) The College Football Playoff committee met on Saturday and into early Sunday morning to determine this year’s 12 playoff teams. Here are their 12 playoff teams: Indiana – 13-0 and winner of Big Ten Conference title game Ohio State – 12-1 and runner-up in Big Ten Conference Georgia – 12-1 and winner of SEC Championship game Texas Tech -12-1 and winner of Big 12 Championship game The four top seeds will receive a first round “bye” into the quarterfinals.  Those four teams will not play in the opening round of games scheduled for Friday, December 19 and Saturday, December 20. The following eight teams will play in the first round – which won’t begin for nearly two weeks: Oregon (#5 seed and 11-1) will host #12 seed James Madison (12-1 – Sunbelt Conference champs) Ole Miss (#6 seed and 11-1) hosts #11 seed Tulane (11-2 – American Athletic Conference champion) Texas A&M (#7 seed and 11-1) is at home vs. #10 seed and 10-2 Miami (FL) Oklahoma (the #8 seed and 10-2) will host #9 seed and 10-3 Alabama Before we discuss why 10-2 Notre Dame wasn’t chosen, the 13-member CFP committee just created two first-round rematches from the 2025 regular season! Ole Miss hosted and thoroughly pounded Tulane 45-10 on September 20 in Oxford. Oklahoma traveled to Alabama just three weeks ago and defeated the Crimson Tide 23-21 in Tuscaloosa. The College Football Playoff committee just gave us rematches involving those four teams.  Why? Couldn’t they have used a little bit of creativity in their rankings to give us the same eight teams but in different match-ups? Does anyone really care which teams are ranked #9, 10, 11, and 12 as long as their team was included in the playoff field? For example, the playoff committee could have sent Miami to face Oklahoma, Alabama to play at Texas A&M, Tulane to visit Oregon, and James Madison traveling to challenge Ole Miss.  Again, what difference does it make which teams were ranked #9, 10, 11 or 12? Giving us two first round rematches was a very preventable blunder by the CFP committee and their self-imposed rules which often make very little common sense to most football fans. What in the world were they thinking? Now, let’s examine Notre Dame’s case for that final playoff spot The 10-2 Fighting Irish lost their first two games in 2025.  Notre Dame’s first loss came at Miami in a tight 27-24 season-opening game.  The Hurricanes won on a field goal with one minute to play. Notre Dame returned home to South Bend for its second game of the season.  Visiting Texas A&M scored a touchdown with 13 seconds to play as the Aggies edged the Irish 41-40 and sent Notre Dame to 0-2. The Fighting Irish then steamrolled several teams in winning its final ten games of the season.  Five of those ten wins, though, came over some really weak teams.  Purdue was 2-10.  So was Arkansas and Boston College.  Syracuse had a lousy 3-9 season, and Stanford stumbled to a 4-8 record. On the plus side, Notre Dame beat then #20 USC 34-24 at home and took a road win over then-#22 Pitt 37-15. The Irish also sank the Navy (9-2) by a 49-10 score in South Bend. Notre Dame had good reason to be angry about the College Football Playoff Committee’s rankings in the weeks leading up to Sunday’s selections ESPN owns the rights to televise the College Football Playoffs. Much of ESPN’s daily sports talk programming has focused on the race to win one of those coveted 12 spots in the College Football Playoffs. ESPN is in business to make money.   They are also masters of self-promotion. The sports network hosts a weekly one-hour prime-time TV show every Tuesday night which brings the latest CFP committee weekly rankings to interested viewers. Those weekly rankings then provide much of the daily subject matter for hours of ESPN’s daily programming.  The network’s hosts and guests bloviate endlessly about which teams might have the best chance of making this year’s College Football Playoffs. “Come back on Tuesday night to find out where your team is currently ranked!” Notre Dame was ranked ahead of the Miami Hurricanes by the CFP committee every week for the past month prior to Sunday’s final selection show. Based on the weekly CFP ranking shows, Notre Dame was considered to be “safe” to make the playoff field by the majority of football fans and the school’s athletics department. That’s because neither Notre Dame nor Miami played a game on Saturday.  Nothing changed.  Both remained 10-2 – just like their records were one week ago. Sunday’s selection show surprisingly elevated Miami ahead of Notre Dame and into the final playoff position. Why? The CFP committee meekly acknowledged that they gave the nod to the Hurricanes based on their Week #1 squeaker win – at home – over the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame and college football fans just had the rug pulled out from under them.  Haven’t we seen this script before? Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bavacqua laid the blame squarely on the CFP committee and partner-in-crime ESPN. “If the (ESPN) ranking shows are legitimate, there is no logical explanation of what happened to us,” said the Notre Dame AD.  “Just have one ranking show at the end, like Sunday.  What’s the point of doing anything prior to that?” You are so right, Pete!  However… ESPN makes a lot of money selling expensive ads during the football season based on those weekly Tuesday night CFP ranking shows.  Their telecasts are watched in large numbers by interested college football fans.  The shows also generate a significant media buzz (and incremental revenue) for ESPN. ESPN knows exactly what it is doing.  We just keep falling for it every year. Notre Dame is fighting back! The Fighting Irish are, well, fighting mad! The school is not going to give Disney/ESPN/ABC an additional opportunity to generate incremental revenue on the backs of the Notre Dame football team.  Sunday’s snub by the College Football Playoff committee (televised on a 3-hour show by ESPN, of course) brought a surprise announcement from Notre Dame. The Irish will not participate in any bowl game this season. In case you didn’t know this, the most likely bowl games where Notre Dame would have been invited to play would be televised by (surprise!) Disney’s ESPN and/or its ABC affiliates.  Disney directly owns and/or televises nearly all of the 35 non-College Football Playoff bowl games. This might be a good time to remind you that the television rights for most of Notre Dame’s regular season football games are owned by NBC. The Fighting Irish football games generate $50 million of annual revenue for the school via NBC’s regular season television contract through the end of the 2029 football season. Notre Dame is going to long remember the 2025 football season and this year’s playoff snub. Good luck to any sales representatives from “Mickey Mouse” who have the courage to show-up in South Bend, Indiana in a few years trying to lure the Irish into switching TV partners. “Mouse trap!” The post ESPN Created this CFP Chaos – We fell for it again! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

“Should a coach who quits still get to lead his team into the playoffs?” That's the fiery question at the heart of this episode of The Ben and Skin Show, where Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray break down one of the wildest weekends in college football history.From Lane Kiffin's jaw-dropping decision to leave Ole Miss for LSU—right as his team sits in the playoff picture—to the ripple effects shaking up the American Athletic Conference, this episode is packed with drama, hot takes, and plenty of laughs. KT dives deep into the chaos surrounding Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and most importantly North Texas, who now has a legitimate shot at the college football playoff. Yes, you read that right—UNT could crash the party.

This weekend’s drama over “Where will Lane Kiffin coach college football?” reminded me of LeBron James’ over-hyped “The Decision” in July, 2010. Ole Miss football coach Lane Kiffin has become the hottest coaching commodity since Nick Saban’s younger days.  The Rebels 11-1 record this fall was the best regular season posted by either Ole Miss or in-state rival Mississippi State in the college football history of both schools. Lane Kiffin (now 50 years of age) used a late-season bye week in order to take his family to visit Baton Rouge (LSU) and Gainesville (University of Florida) to contemplate their respective head coaching openings. Coach Kiffin returned to Oxford a week later and led the Rebels to Friday’s 38-19 drubbing of Mississippi State to end the regular season. The Ole Miss Vice Chancellor for Intercollegiate Athletics Keith Carter advised the media last week that Coach Kiffin would announce his decision (stay or go) on the day after Ole Miss played Mississippi State. Saturday’s lack of news coming out of Oxford led many to believe that the football coach may be getting cold feet. Don’t let the screen door hit you…on your way out! Lane Kiffin advised his 49-year old boss (Keith Carter) on Saturday that he was, indeed, taking the head coaching job at LSU. However, Kiffin wanted to have the chance to remain another month to coach his team through the remainder of the football season.  Ole Miss (ranked #6) is likely to host a first round College Football Playoff game on Saturday, December 13. The coach wanted to stay with his players through their final game. LSU agreed. Ole Miss athletics boss Keith Carter effectively told Lane Kiffin, “Not no, but heck no.” He refused to let the head coach even talk to his players on Sunday and made it known that Kiffin should skedaddle to Baton Rouge ASAP. Hours later, Lane Kiffin did just that.  A small group of Ole Miss fans loudly cursed the coach as he boarded a private jet in Oxford on Sunday afternoon. Lane Kiffin’s Defensive Coordinator, Pete Golding, was named the new Ole Miss football coach on Sunday as well. For the record, the 41-year old Pete Golding has never been a head football coach at any level prior to receiving this very generous battlefield promotion on Sunday. Meanwhile, Tulane and North Texas are allowing their departing coaches to continue This weekend also found Tulane’s football coach Jon Sumrall and University of North Texas coach Eric Morris taking the top jobs at the University of Florida and Oklahoma State respectively. Tulane Athletic Director David Harris posted that Coach Sumrall asked to coach the Green Wave for the remaining games of this football season.  Harris gladly obliged based on their years of mutual trust. The same thing happened with the University of North Texas and departing coach Eric Morris. He will coach the Mean Green football team for the remainder of the season and then move to Oklahoma State. Ironically, Jon Sumrall and Eric Morris will face each other this Friday night.  Tulane (10-2) hosts 11-1 North Texas in New Orleans in the American Athletic Conference championship game. Why didn’t Ole Miss athletics boss Keith Carter do the same thing for Coach Lane Kiffin? That’s a great question, and it may hold the key as to why Kiffin is moving on to LSU. In 2019, Keith Carter was promoted into his current job just weeks prior to the hiring of Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss.  Carter (a former Ole Miss basketball player and a prolific fund raiser for Ole Miss athletics) is one year younger than Lane Kiffin. It’s safe to say that these two gentlemen are quite competitive by nature. Partial credit for the rise in the profile of Ole Miss football in the past few years should be given to Keith Carter for hiring Lane Kiffin in 2019.  Of course, Coach Kiffin, his staff, and players have made Ole Miss into a national force in college football in recent years. That same 44 year old Lane Kiffin had already been the head coach for the Oakland Raiders (one and 1/2 years), Tennessee Volunteers (one season), USC (three and ½ years), and Florida Atlantic (three years) prior to accepting his fifth head coaching assignment at Ole Miss in 2019. Ole Miss sports boss Keith Carter had to know that hiring Lane Kiffin came with the risk that his coach might not stick around for too many years. Kiffin’s six-year tenure at Ole Miss was, by far, the longest in his head coaching career. Lane Kiffin’s years in Oxford marked a time in which he has become closer to his family.  The coach gave up drinking nearly five years ago and says he is also more mentally sober today as well. He admits that his time in Oxford has been the greatest period in his coaching career. Keep in mind that Keith Carter (Kiffin’s boss) bleeds Ole Miss blue and red.  He reportedly offered to match the salary of any suitors (primarily LSU and Florida) to get his football coach to sign a contract extension to stay put. Keith Carter had to endure questions from local and national media as to why Coach Kiffin was traveling to visit Florida and LSU during the team’s recent bye week.  The school’s athletics chief desperately wanted his football coach to tell the media that he was staying put in Oxford. Lane Kiffin and family returned from their brief visits in mid-November and said that no decisions had been made. When Coach Kiffin finally confirmed that he was leaving for LSU last Saturday, it appeared that his boss (Keith Carter) felt rather offended after being strung along for more than a full week. I believe that is a big reason why Keith Carter rejected Coach Kiffin’s request to continue leading this year’s team through the upcoming College Football Playoffs. The College Football Playoff Committee should not “punish” Ole Miss after their head coach left The Ole Miss executive hierarchy immediately promoted defensive coordinator Pete Golding into the permanent head coaching spot.  That decision seems primarily designed to give the College Football Playoff committee an assurance that this year’s Ole Miss football team is “stable” and deserves to host a first-round playoff game. This season’s Ole Miss players and the team’s fans deserve that much for a tremendous 11-1 season. The CFP committee (which has a tendency to listen to TV partner ESPN) angered many a few years ago by leaving out 13-0 Florida State after its quarterback was injured in the ACC Championship game. The loss of a football team’s star quarterback is a quantifiable loss.  How can the CFP committee fairly assess the value of a team’s head coach? Answer: They shouldn’t! LSU’s Athletics Director handed the keys over to Lane Kiffin Verge Ausberry was appointed as LSU’s new Director of Athletics on November 4.  His primary task was to find a qualified replacement for the recently-departed Brian Kelly. Ausberry somehow landed the biggest coaching fish in the college football ocean by signing Lane Kiffin to become the Tigers new head coach. Monday’s introductory press conference at LSU provided a big reason why Kiffin decided to come to TigerTown. He said that LSU AD Verge Ausberry told him, “I’m going to leave you alone and let you coach the team.  I like when I hear that (laughter from the crowd).  We’re going to give you everything to win, and I’m going to leave you alone and go coach the team and win championships!” Lane Kiffin is a talented football coach and a very creative innovator.  He may have felt a little constrained at Ole Miss by his former boss, Keith Carter. As we all know, some bosses are more hands-on than others. LSU’s Verge Ausberry is going to give Coach Kiffin plenty of room to design a national championship football team in Baton Rouge. Lane Kiffin (at least for the next few years) has the football team’s car keys, and he is definitely in the driver’s seat right now.  Tiger faithful are excited and cautiously optimistic about the team’s chances for a fifth national championship coming soon. Enjoy “The Lane Kiffin Show” while you can, LSU fans.  Just remember that his escape pod will be parked nearby.

Unbeaten Texas A&M is really, really looking forward to this Saturday’s “cupcake” college football game against struggling 1-10 FCS member Samford.  The Southern Conference Bulldogs from Birmingham, Alabama should be a much tastier morsel than last week’s early delivery from the SEC bakery in Columbia, South Carolina. The 3-6 South Carolina Cream Puffs (I mean, Gamecocks) were supposed to show-up in College Station on Saturday and bow down to the mighty 10-0 Aggies.  The folks in Las Vegas established the Aggies as a 17 ½ point home favorite and expected Texas A&M to cruise an 11th straight victory in 2025. I noticed that Coach Mike Elko’s name was scrolling along the bottom of ABC’s television coverage during the game on Saturday.  The A&M football coach had just signed a six-year contract extension worth more than $11 million per season after guiding the Ags to a sterling 10-0 start in 2025. Ever heard of the term “Battered Aggie Syndrome”? Texas A&M fans have a tendency to become overly excited about their football team.  Sadly, the past few decades have seen the fast-starting Aggies fade coming down the home stretch of nearly every football season. The Aggies have never won the SEC title since joining the league in 2012.  They have never appeared in the BCS nor College Football Playoffs. Texas A&M’s last national championship came in 1939. After years of football disappointment, a significant portion of the Texas A&M football fan base coined the phrase “Battered Aggie Syndrome”. They get excited early in the season and become depressed as the team falters late. It’s much the same as Peanuts character Charlie Brown after Lucy pulls the football away from him just before he gets to kick it. You know what’s going to happen to good ol’ Chuck every time. This year’s Texas A&M football team came into Saturday’s game 10-0.  The coach had just received a very expensive six-year contract extension (another story for another day). What could possibly go wrong? Plenty. South Carolina showed-up and played their finest first half of the football season. Texas A&M served the visiting team a first half assortment of tasty football-flavored turnovers such as two interceptions and a timely fumble recovery.  South Carolina played nearly flawlessly during the opening first two quarters and took full advantage of A&M’s generous Texas-sized home field hospitality. The gracious Aggies allowed their Carolina visitors to jump to a shocking 30-3 halftime lead.  Many in the Texas A&M’s crowd of more than 100,000 suddenly wondered why they didn’t wear their sad “Battered Aggie Syndrome” T-shirts to this football game. Texas A&M’s now wealthier football coach Mike Elko looked in shock as he departed Kyle Field for the locker room after the first half ended. Meanwhile, Coach Shane Beamer may have dropped a few hints at halftime that his South Carolina Gamecocks team should reciprocate some of that generous Texas hospitality during the second half of play. The Gamecocks listened and switched places with the Aggies in the second half. Texas A&M rolled-off 28 straight points to beat South Carolina 31-30 to complete the biggest comeback in school history. Carolina coach Shane Beamer is still employed as I write this on Monday, November 17.  The coach would be due nearly $28 million if South Carolina’s athletics boosters felt the desire to make Coach Beamer the 12th FBS coach fired this football season. The SEC Bakery offers a variety of pastries available this Saturday Check out this list of “Who made this schedule?” for some SEC teams this weekend: Texas A&M (11-0) hosts FCS Samford (1-10) Georgia (9-1) tackles American Athletic Conference member UNC-Charlotte (1-9) Alabama (8-2) is at home for FCS Eastern Illinois (4-7) LSU (6-4) plays host to Sunbelt Conference Western Kentucky (8-2)* South Carolina (3-7) is home for the Sunbelt’s Coastal Carolina (6-4)* *This game was EXPECTED to be an easy home contest but may not turn out to be The 11th game of the season has become “cupcake” week in the SEC after the league started playing a 12-game schedule.  Many teams want their final game of season to end with a historic rivalry contest. Next week’s final week of the SEC regular season features grudge matches such as Alabama vs. Auburn, Georgia taking on Georgia Tech, Ole Miss at Mississippi State, and Texas hosting Texas A&M. That leaves lonely Week #11 available for non-conference action. The reason Samford, Eastern Illinois, and the others accept invitations to play in in such games is to collect +/- $1 million in financial guarantees just for showing up. There were a few other close calls last weekend involving some top teams In addition to Texas A&M’s good fortune in the second half against South Carolina, a few other top-rated teams were fortunate to come out on top. Ole Miss (now 10-1) trailed “coachless” Florida 24-20 heading into the fourth quarter in Oxford Saturday night.  The Rebels scored two fourth quarter touchdowns to escape with a 34-24 win over a tough group of 3-7 Florida Gators. Georgia Tech (now 10-1) was on the verge of losing to 1-10 Boston College last Saturday in Beantown.  A short field goal with 11 seconds remaining lifted the Yellow Jackets to a 34-32 win over BC and kept Georgia Tech’s College Football Playoff hopes alive. Meanwhile, the 8-2 Michigan Wolverines nearly became an upset victim on Saturday, too.  Big Blue turned the ball over three times to the Northwestern Wildcats (now 5-5), but a field goal on the game’s final play lifted Michigan to a 24-22 win.  Michigan visits 4-7 Maryland this week before hosting archrival 10-0 Ohio State on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

Jamai Felt, the reigning MAC freshman of the year, transferred to Temple from Bowling Green this spring and could give Owls head coach Adam Fisher the rim protector the program has lacked during the past two seasons. The 6-foot-10 Felt, who led the MAC with 46 blocked shots, joined The Scoop this week and talked to us about recovering from two ACL surgeries and why Temple was the right fit for him when he entered the NCAA's transfer portal. Felt, who is recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, said he will be ready for the start of preseason practice and the regular season. The shot-blocking numbers he put up last season, he said, are just a preview of things to come. “Forty-six blocks is a lot,” Felt said, “but I'm trying to do more this year. Trying to get (American Athletic Conference) defensive player of the year for sure.” In addition to providing updates on Temple football's two newest verbal commitments, we also paid tribute to the lateJohn DiSangro, the former longtime director of basketball operations under Hall of Fame coach John Chaney. DiSangro passed away last week at the age of 60 and was memorialized by his nephew, Rocco DiSangro, on this week's podcast.

He is tasked with the overall leadership of UNT Athletics and its more than 300 student-athletes.During the 2023-24 year, UNT enjoyed a strong first season in the American Athletic Conference with six teams reaching postseason competition.

On March 5, 2025, the Cincinnati Bearcats basketball team suffered a disappointing loss, prompting a candid and emotional press conference from head coach Wes Miller. While specific details about the opponent and final score are not fully outlined in available sources, posts on X and recent coverage suggest the game was a significant setback for the team. Miller, in his fourth season leading the Bearcats, did not hold back in expressing his frustration, offering a raw assessment of the performance that has sparked discussion among fans and analysts alike. In the press conference, Miller described the team's effort as unrecognizable, stating, “I don't know who that basketball team is,” and issuing an apology to fans who attended the game. His remarks, captured in posts on X, reflect a deep dissatisfaction with the Bearcats' play, calling it “unacceptable” and distancing it from the squad he had coached in the preceding weeks. This loss comes amidst a season of ups and downs for Cincinnati, a program with a storied history—boasting two national championships and over 1,800 wins—that has struggled to regain its former prominence under Miller's tenure. Since taking the helm in 2021, Miller has compiled a 75-49 record, including a 27-33 mark in conference play, transitioning from the American Athletic Conference to the tougher Big 12. Despite recruiting successes, such as landing five-star talent like Rayvon Griffith, the Bearcats have yet to secure an NCAA Tournament berth under his leadership. The 2024-25 season began with promise, with Cincinnati ranked in the AP preseason Top 25 for the first time since 2017-18, fueled by wins over rivals Dayton and Xavier. However, a 2-5 start in Big 12 play and a 6-32 record in Quad 1 games have raised questions about Miller's ability to elevate the program in a “win-now” era. Miller's press conference underscores the pressure he faces as the Bearcats approach critical games, potentially including Senior Day festivities he discussed earlier in the week. His fiery response suggests a coach desperate to ignite a turnaround, yet it also highlights the gap between potential and performance. With fans and athletic director John Cunningham watching closely, Miller's future may hinge on whether he can rally this team—or if Cincinnati will seek a new voice to restore its basketball legacy.

Richard, Alex, and Godfrey break down the American Athletic Conference ahead of the 2024 season. Memphis (3:00) looks like it's primed for a run, but UTSA and Tulane (10:12) are strong in their own ways. USF (19:21) was a minor breakout team in 2023. Is another step forward in store? Which bad to mediocre team from the ECU, Rice, UAB, and North Texas crop (22:37) could make a leap? Why is Army in the AAC now, and how does it stack up with Navy? (27:45) Is it possible to find optimism at Charlotte, USF, or, gasp, Temple? (32:57) Can Tom Herman at FAU move toward a sequel of his old AAC success? (37:27) Then, let's run through the SZD preseason superlatives for what might be the best Group of 5 league. Production by Anthony Vito. This is a public episode.
