State of AAC: Cincinnati survives UCF, Tulsa avoids upset

The American Athletic Conference had only four games this past weekend, but there were two crucial games in the race for the AAC winner.

In a week of postponements and schedule movements, the main event in the conference’s slate of games was Cincinnati and UCF, but Tulsa, who entered undefeated in the conference, also competed.

Here is a look at this week’s contests:

Tulsa 30, Tulane 24

In what appeared to be the upset of the week in the AAC, AP-ranked Tulsa (5-1, 5-0 AAC) managed to rally from a 14-point deficit to defeat Tulane (5-5, 2-5 AAC), scoring all 30 of its points after the fourth quarter on Thursday night.
