I expected the SMU home starter - the opposite of last year's schedule. And the roadie at Cinncy - again the reverse.
I don't know how many Saturday games other schools in the AAC have. The schedule is designed to fill out the TV all week approach, just as last year, with few games on any set schedule. We got spoiled with the Thursday-Saturday CUSA games because TV didn't care when they were played. Not saying I'm happy with the AAC schedule, but I suspect other schools have similar complaints.
