With the departure of the UConn Huskies on July 1, 2020, the American Athletic Conference (AAC) will be left with 11 schools that compete in their football conference: Cincinnati Bearcats, East Carolina Pirates, Houston Cougars, Memphis Tigers, Navy Midshipmen, SMU Mustangs, Temple Owls, Tulane Green Wave, Tulsa Golden Hurricane, UCF Knights, and USF Bulls.
That move has placed the AAC in a situation where they would have uneven divisions in the American East and American West, which is something that AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco has made clear is not ideal, so they will instead be an 11-team conference, for now, without divisions.
With a non-conference schedule and no divisions for 2020 and 2021, which are the two seasons that the AAC applied for and received a waver from the NCAA to be able to hold a conference championship without having 12 teams or having divisions, each school will obviously not face the other 10 teams in the conference.
The in-conference schedule for these two upcoming seasons will be as follows:
