The great thing about AAC football is that schools have to take chances on their coach, knowing they will only be there for a few years and since it is so diverse (school, academics, region) everyone wins in their own way. Most other conferences recruit kids with similar backgrounds and run styles the compliment each other.

Temple recruits the bruising linebackers from steal country and plays good defense

Navy runs triple option to death

Houston gets all the near power-5 guys from Harris county with a few diamonds in the rough

USF does the exact same thing but with fast dudes from Florida

SMU runs the modern wishbone

You get so many odd matchups. Like navy has been such a crap matchup for Houston. They were able to keep the ball forever and Houston was pass rushing defense with a good secondary.

Then a few weeks later navy gets owned by Temple because they are physical enough
