Could Tulane Defy All Odds to Dominate the American Conference in 2025?
So eager to redefine itself is this conference that it changed its name this summer: The “American Athletic” and “AAC” are no more.
And yet! In any given year, the American is still probably the best conference outside the powers.
In 2025, it has two of the top three or four contenders for the Group of Five’s playoff spot (Memphis, Tulane), the coach most likely to get a big-time job after this year (Tulane coach Jon Sumrall), and a whole handful of teams who could be really good.
What does the Opta supercomputer see for the 2025 regular season? It calculates its projections with the help of TRACR (Team Rating Adjusted for Conference and Roster), which combines play data from the prior season with adjustments for recruiting class rankings, transfer portal additions, and other offseason roster turnover.
