THE GAME
The American Athletic Conference conducts its first postseason championship in football when Temple visits Houston Saturday … The American is in its first year as a 12-team conference after operating with 10 teams in 2013 and with 11 teams in 2014 … The addition of Navy in 2015 allowed The American to establish two six-team divisions … Temple is looking for its first American Athletic Conference title in any sport, while Houston is looking for its fourth American title in all sports … The Cougars previously won conference championships in baseball and men's outdoor track and field in 2013 and in men's indoor track and field in 2014 … Temple and Houston did not meet during the 2015 football regular season, though the teams have four previous meetings on the gridiron … Houston was a 31-10 winner at TDECU Stadium in 2014, while the Cougars took a 22-13 win at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia in a 2013 game which was the first American Athletic Conference game in history … Houston also took both ends of a home-and-home series in the late 1980s as the Cougars were 37-7 winners at Veterans Stadium in 1987 and 65-7 winners at the Astrodome in 1989.
