AAC Championship Records Misleading

[The Knightman Cometh]

I'm specifically referring to this Wikipedia page where UCF and Cincinnati are both tied for AAC Championships but this is really misleading. It only counts from 2015 and beyond since that is when they started doing the division championships game yet it neglects our amazing 2013 run (which we won our first NY6 bowl) and also another championship in 2014. There should be some mention of this somewhere on the header of this page.

American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

And for those wanting to say "ohhh go look at the official American conference website" that equally doesn't have a single page that points out overall conference winners. It just does it by year: https://theamerican.org/standings.aspx?standings=1

So far this is the best, no bs-website that shows every year's winner:

American Athletic Conference Index | College Football at Sports-Reference.com

American Athletic Conference Index

www.sports-reference.com

Should not Wikipedia state this as it's the most commonly used site for these kind of things?

Wow, same minds. I looked it up too this week for some reason. It only has championships, but there is a link to pre-championship years.

Fix it then. Anyone can edit Wikipedia.

This is the page you want. The wiki page you linked is related to the AAC championship game.

Not the same. Link I posted was football-specific.

Tried, header/summary tab errors out with a parameter script issue. Meh

2014 is 1/3 of a conference championship. FYI…the other two teams were Memphis and Cincy

Ok so UCF 3.3, Cinci 2.3, Memphis 1.3, Houston 1, Temple 1

The page you linked is football specific specifically because it is about the AAC championship football game. It's not about who was the conference champion, which is why they focus primarily on who won the game.

The link you posted was for the championship game. We have won 2 obviously.

On that same championship game page there is a section toward the bottom that lists pre-championship years and lists all the winners starting from 2013. People do not read that far into it and will stumble across this page and read only the top header that states Cinci and UCF are tied (which true, tied in championship games) but not in overall AAC football championships in the AAC which is equally, if not more important to highlight/point out.

Point was to just put an * or something on the top of that page that UCF has the most overall AAC championship wins, counting the pre-championship game era (which again, even though it is a "Championship game" wiki page it also states this in a section of this same page as well so it might as well state it on the top header where everyone reads). Not doing so will create confusion to non-UCF fans (new B12 members, etc.) who do not care about the AAC championship system and do not want to go to other, external sites to see a quick snippet.

Cool. That page is for the AAC championship game. There is another page for the list of conference champions.

Cool. You can't read.

I didn’t read the diatribe you went on. I did read the title of the Wikipedia page you linked. Which was “American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game”

You're actually making his point. People dont read and the website is misleading on #of football AAC championships vs championship game wins.

Shouldn’t we be focused on the big12 wiki page now? *

We have one Big 12 championship already

Cool. The page is for documenting the American conference championship game. I’m not distraught that it accurately claims we have won 2 such games. But to each their own.
