Championship Game
The 2019 AAC Championship Game will feature two undefeated teams so it’ll grab some national exposure. It’s unlikely the winner here gets any consideration for the 2019 College Football Playoff but sending an undefeated team to a New Year’s Day Bowl will again give them a chance to make a statement.
UCF beats Memphis in a shootout to win the AAC in 2019.
