12.18.14 | Football
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco has announced the schedule format for the 2015-18 football seasons.
The 2015 season will be the first in The American's new 12-team, two-division format. Joining Temple in The American Athletic Conference East Division will be UCF, Cincinnati, UConn, East Carolina, and USF. The West Division will consist of Houston, Memphis, Navy, SMU, Tulane, and Tulsa.
In 2015 Temple will play the following conference schools at home: tri-conference champions UCF and Memphis, along with UConn and Tulane. The Owls will travel to face the other tri-conference champ Cincinnati, along with East Carolina, USF, and SMU. Dates will be set in the spring.
In its non-conference games, Temple will host Penn State (Saturday, September 5) and Notre Dame (Saturday, October 31) at Lincoln Financial Field. The non-conference road games will be at UMass (Saturday, September 19) and Charlotte (Saturday, October 3).
Temple's home/away conference opponents for the 2016-18 seasons are:
The conference schedule will include 48 regular-season games that will have each of the 12 teams in The American playing eight league contests annually. Each team will face the other five teams in its own division, as well as three teams from the other division, ensuring that each school will play every conference opponent at home and on the road at least once in the four-year cycle.
The East and West division winners, determined by final conference record, will meet in the first American Athletic Conference Football Championship Game, which will be played at the home site of one of the division winners.
"This format is a sensible and fair model that will protect traditional rivalries and allow each school to travel across our geographic footprint on a regular basis," said Aresco. "It will make for an exciting and extremely competitive regular season, adding to the drama which annually makes the college football regular season the best in all of sports, and it will produce two strong and tested teams who will then compete in our inaugural conference championship game."
The American Athletic Conference has enjoyed widespread success since its inaugural season in 2013. The conference produced two 12-win teams in 2013, including UCF, which won the Fiesta Bowl, and saw UCF, Cincinnati and Memphis tie for the conference title in 2014. Five American Athletic Conference teams – UCF, Cincinnati, East Carolina, Houston and Memphis – will play in the 2014 postseason. Navy, which joins The American in football in 2015, also will play in a bowl game this season.
The remaining American Athletic Conference Home/Away Football schedules from 2015-18 are as follows:
