From Athlon Sports...
The 2020 American Athletic All-Conference team is led by 17 selections from UCF, with Memphis and Cincinnati each featuring 13 picks. Those three teams are the frontrunners to win the conference in 2020, so it should be no surprise they top the list of most selections. Tulane (12), Temple (10) and Navy (10) headline the next tier of selections on the 2020 all-conference picks from the AAC.
An important note on the all-conference teams: These are based on how players will perform in 2020. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2020 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year.
