PHILADELPHIA – Athlon Sports has unveiled its 2016 Preseason All-Conference teams and 11 Temple Owls have earned All-American Athletic Conference honors.
Houston, USF and Temple are considered the top three teams and favorites to win the American Athletic Conference in 2016, so it should be no surprise these programs dominate the projected all-conference team by Athlon Sports. The Cougars and the Bulls are tied with 14 selections on Athlon Sports' 2016 American Athletic all-conference team, with the Owls checking in at No. 3 with 11 selections.
Temple tied East Carolina and USF with a conference-leading two players on the first team offense.
