Rankings from AP Poll

The 2024 American Athletic Conference football season was the 33rd NCAA Division I FBS Football season of the American Athletic Conference, now known as the American Conference (The American), the 12th and last under its then-current name after the breakup of the former Big East Conference (whose charter legally belongs to The American), and the 10th season of the College Football Playoff in place. The American is considered a member of the Group of Five (G5) together with Conference USA, the MAC, Mountain West Conference and the Sun Belt Conference. The conference had 14 football members for the 2024–25 season.

The conference changed its name to "American Conference" on July 21, 2025.[1]

## Previous season

[edit]

Main article: 2023 American Athletic Conference football season

During the 2023 American Athletic Conference season, Tulane and SMU posted 8–0 conference records and advanced to the Conference Championship Game. In the Conference Championship Game, SMU defeated Tulane by a score of 26–14. SMU was invited to the Fenway Bowl, where they lost to Boston College by a score of 14–23

## Conference realignment

[edit]

Prior to the 2024 season, The American saw the departure of one team and the arrival of another. SMU, the 2023 Conference champions, left The American to join the Atlantic Coast Conference.[2] Army joined The American as a football-only member beginning in 2024 after having played as an independent school in football since 2005.[3] The conference will remain at 14 football members following these moves.

Though Army and Navy are now members of American Conference football, the annual Army–Navy Game will be played as a non-conference game to ensure that its traditional date of the second weekend of December will remain.[4]

## Head Coaches

[edit]

### Changes

[edit]

* On December 3, 2023, Tulane head coach Willie Fritz resigned from his position to take the head coach position at Houston in the Big 12 Conference for the 2024 season.[5] Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Slade Nagle was named the interim head coach. On December 8, Jon Sumrall was announced as Tulane's new head coach for 2024.[6] Sumrall had previously been the head coach at Troy.
