State of the AAC: Looking back at week eight

The American Athletic Conference is now heading into the latter half of the conference schedule as several programs continue to make their push to play in the AAC Championship game five weeks away.

Here is how the AAC fared this week:

Tulane (1-6, 0-3 AAC) at No. 21 SMU (7-0, 3-0)

SMU handled its business once again with a dominant 55-36 victory over Tulane at home to remain undefeated this season.

The Mustangs stomped on the Green Wave right out of the gate, posting a quick 17-0 first-quarter lead before heading to halftime up 31-7.
