Defending AAC champ Cincinnati to host Houston

The clock is ticking, and all American Athletic Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco can do is embrace it.

Both the University of Houston and the University of Cincinnati are headed to the Big 12 Conference. But on Saturday, the Houston (11-1, 8-0) and Cincinnati (12-0, 8-0) football teams will square off in the AAC championship game at Nippert Stadium (4 p.m. on ABC).

It will be a matchup of two of the top teams in the country, which, according to Aresco, supports the AAC's claim to being a "Power Six" conference.

"Our championship game is one of six that's going to feature two ranked teams," Aresco said Monday. "We all know what the other five are. But this cements our position as a power conference."
