American Athletic Conference

Lead-Pipe Lock: Cincinnati

Some Perspiration: SMU

Better Double-Up on the Deodorant: None.

SMU Mustangs, 20-4 (9-1): Since our last update, very little has changed in the AAC. SMU has continued their hot streak of six consecutive wins and is looking to be every bit of a tournament team. Their home match-up with Cincinnati coming up could be the game of the season in the conference and could do a lot for the seeding of the Mustangs.

Quality wins: vs. TCU, @ Memphis, vs. Pittsburgh, vs. Houston

Bad losses: @ Boise State

Missed opportunities: @ USC, vs. Michigan, @ Cincinnati

Next up: @ Temple (2/9), vs. Cincinnati (2/12)
