The American Athletic Conference has produced at least one at-large berth in the NCAA Tournament every season in its brief five-year existence.
In total, the AAC has netted 10 at-large berths in five years with a No. 7 seed being the average. Last season’s Wichita State team (No. 4 seed) earned the highest seed of an at-large berth in the conference’s history.
The top of the AAC appears to be down this season, but its depth should still produce an at-large bid (or a few). Which teams have scheduled to grab those bids? Let’s take a look around the American and grade each team’s nonconference schedule.
