After the dust settled Saturday, only one AAC team remained on the podium of college football’s 33 remaining undefeated teams. Not preseason ranked Cincinnati, nor preseason ranked Houston. And it wasn’t any of the frequent AP Poll crashers UCF, Memphis, and SMU.
It’s Tulane. The same Tulane team that posted a 2-10 record a season ago has already surpassed its 2021 win total in an inspiring 3-0 start. The Green Wave stormed into Manhattan, KS and exited with a 17-10 upset over a Kansas State team fresh off a 40-12 win over Missouri. By completing the upset, Tulane clinched its first 3-0 start since the 1998 season when it finished 12-0 and ranked No.
