The American Athletic Conference was fun last year until the final moments.

Several teams were in the conference title hunt throughout the season, North Texas and USF were a blast, Navy was terrific, and Tulane broke through and got into the College Football Playoff.

There are plenty of changes this year, with wholesale changes across the board, promises among usual also-rans Temple, Tulsa, and UAB, and lots of hope.

Here's our spring call on the win totals for all 14 American teams.
