Editor's Note: Welcome to the 2023 debut of the "RFC MYC", with the "MYC" initials standing for "Mark Your Calendars". The purpose of the previews at the Real Football Central blog is to present the schedules of every college football team outside of the so-called "Power Five" conferences (ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12, and SEC), throughout the mid-to-late spring, as well as the summer of 2023. As to what the "Group Of Five" conferences are, they currently consist of the following conferences:
American Athletic Conference (AAC)
Mountain West Conference (MWC)
So, once again, what are we waiting for? Let's get started.
American Athletic Conference (FBS Group Of Five)
Overview: Say goodbye to Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF, and hello to Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UAB, and UTSA.
Change will be the name of the game for the American Athletic Conference (AAC) in 2023, as the six aforementioned schools will replace the former trio in this soon-to-be 10-year league this fall, with all three of those aforementioned institutions joining the Big 12 this fall.
All six newcomers, of course, will have to try and dethrone Tulane as the defending AAC champs. The Green Wave are coming off their best season in nearly 25 years, as they completed a storybook 2022 season with a come-from-behind win over USC in the Cotton Bowl on Monday, January 2, 2023. Tulane finished its season at 12-2 overall after the stunning upset win over the Trojans.
The most likely challenger to Tulane's crown could be UTSA. The Roadrunners will enter the AAC after winning back-to-back Conference USA crowns in as many seasons. However, the main goal for this soon-to-be 13-year old program will be to finally win a bowl game, with UTSA losing another heartbreaker, this time to Troy in the Cure Bowl.
