State of the AAC: ECU upsets SMU, UCF rides its offense

The American Athletic Conference faces yet another week where games were affected due to the COVID-19 pandemic as only three games were played this week compared to the four last week, but there was still no shortage of intensity throughout the games played.

Matchups affected were No. 25 Tulsa and Houston, which was postponed, and No. 7 Cincinnati and Temple, which was canceled completely.

Here is a look at the matchups that were able to take place:

East Carolina 52, SMU 38

In what was by far the biggest surprise of the week in the AAC, East Carolina (3-6, 3-5 AAC) defeated SMU with an explosive 52-point performance against the SMU Mustangs (7-3, 4-3 AAC), handing SMU its third loss in the last six games.
