Heading into the final 2 weeks of the season there are still four 1 loss teams in American play with everything still to be determined.

In what may have been the game of the year, East Carolina won in the final 90 seconds to defeat Memphis and stay with only 1 loss in conference play. The Pirates who are reidign a 4-game win streak have been peaking at the right time and will look to continue that this weekend. However they will have to go on the road the last 2 weeks of the season. The team playing East Carolina this week is coming off a big win as UTSA took care of business on the road in Charlotte. They will look to build on that performance as they head to the friendly confines of the Alamodome for the final 2 games as one win makes them bowl eligible.  Tulsa took a win this weekend as well when they defeated their 2nd team with the initals OSU and with the clors black and orange this season.

    Chaos? Let's Talk Chaos in the American - All American | Week 12 (November 12, 2025)

    All American Week 12! There are 3 week's left in the reglar season and its anyone's best guess on who will play in the American Championship on Friday December 5th on ABC. With 5 1-loss teams there is still so much to figure out in the final few weeks of the Regular Season. South Florida, North Texas, Navy, Tulane and East Carolina all vie for a spot in the American Championship and this week can help clear that picture a little more. Maria Trivelpiece and Kyle YOumans look at it all from week 11 and break down week 12. It didn't take long for South Florida to pounce on UTSA last Thurday as the Bulls scored on back-to-back defensive TD's and were up 14-3 after the 1st quarter. A quarter in which their offense never even snapped the ball. Byrum Brown continued his incredible play and aparently also has an incredible dental hygiene routine to get his teeth so shiny. Now South Florida moves ahead to Navy this week which features 2 of the best quarterbacks in the country but the question is will Blake Horvath play.  After the disappointing loss the week prior Tulane bounced back in a big way dominating Memphis in the 1st half anf then holding on at the end to put the Green Wave right back as a frontrunner to make the championship game. Tulane seeks its 4th straight berth and it continues this week against Florida Atlantic.  Speaking of the Owls a dominant 1st half vs Tulsa on both sides led the way as the offense clicked and the defense forced its 1st turnovers of the season to lead the Owls to the win. Florida Atlantic now at 4-5 looks to win 2 of the last 3 to become bowl eligible but it won'e be easy as they face Tulane, UConn and East Carolina all who have at least 6 wins.  The team just lurking in the background continues to be East Carolina. After a dominant win over in-satte rival Charlotte, ther Pirates fired a shot across the bow on social media questioning if Charlotte is a relevant football program. With that said East Carolina looks ahead to Memphis this week in a game that will determine a lot about where the Pirates are in the race to the American Championship Game. A physical game with the lowest amount of possessions in an FBS game took places in West Point, New York. 12 possessions were all that were had between Army and Temple with the Black Knights running out the final 9:53 of the clock to win 14-13. That gritty footbal encapsulated what Army football is and now at 5-4 the Black Knights look to win 1 of the last 2 before Navy to get back to bowl eligibility. Another team who got to 5 wins was the Rice Owls who won a defense slugfest in the second half to beat UAB. Rice in the first year under Scott Abell will now look to finish strong with games against North Texas and South Florida and build for the future. Especially given the newly annoucned updates planned for Rice Stadium. They also preview North Texas-UAB which features the high powered Mean Green offense against a Blazers Defense which has sturggled all season. Alogn with UTSA-Charlotte and how the Roadrunners quest for a bowl game stacks up in the fianl 3 weeks. Along with the one non-conference game of the weekend as Tulsa hosts Oregon State and looks to beat a secon black and orange OSU team this season. It was a wild week in Lakewood Ranch, Florida at the American Women's Soccer Championship. Multiple pnalty kick shootouts and overtime led to high drama. At the end it was UTSA who won it all capturing their 1st American Championship. Junior Goalkeeper Jasmine Kessler joins the show to discuss the roadrunners magical run to the title and what it took to get there.  Earlier in the season Maria and Kyle get tested on their knowledge of American Stadiums. Kyle did quite well, Maria on the other hand... um let's just say she doesn't like to talk about it. Now it's time for part 2. Watch the episode on the American Conference YouTube Channel.
