It would be great to see Cincy-L'ville resume as an annual match-up. L'ville probably doesn't have much interest now that they're in the ACC and play OOC UK annually.

Memphis and Tulane have some history with solid teams. It would be nice to see them get long-term series scheduled with their historic rivals.

I wouldn't mind seeing UCF develop an annual H-H with Georgia Tech (O'Leary Bowl? Tech-mo Bowl to honor our FTU roots?).

USF should sign FIU to a long-term H-H and get a battle for South Florida going. That is, if they don't give in and give FIU a 2-1.

Don’t forget- USF isn’t in South Florida!

Kind of an odd criteria of min 30 games played when we've only played 23 seasons at the FBS level.

It’s not about us. It’s the other AAC schools.

I meant it sarcastically.

I was more interested in looking at the historic rivalries for our conference teams. For UCF, the most games against a common opponent is 17 against ECU. Next up is BCC with 16 games. I had to draw the line somewhere and 30 seemed about right for a sport that is over 100 years old.

Although the AAC is a new league, it's good to be reminded that the conference has some great history to lean on. Continuing to schedule these games (or resurrecting them) will generate fan interest and winning these games will increase the conference's notoriety.
