Every summer since 2007 I have created an intricate set of college football predictions for each upcoming season. This year is no exception, as I will be using my blog over the next few weeks to publish my 12th annual college football preview guide. The records below reflect each team’s predicted regular season overall record followed by their conference record. These records include conference title games for the two division champions but exclude bowl games which will be previewed later on in a separate column on this blog. The team listed in bold font in each entry is my predicted conference champion. Without further ado, here are my predictions for the American Athletic Conference.

| 3 | South Florida (7-5, 4-4) |
| 4 | Cincinnati (5-7, 3-5) |
