The future of the conference is more closely aligned with the fortunes of Temple, South Florida and Connecticut, all winless entering the weekend. Louisville, which beat Temple, 30-7, on Saturday, will be moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference and Rutgers to the Big Ten. What is left in the A.A.C., formerly the Big East Conference, is a hodgepodge of spillovers from a variety of other leagues, like Conference USA and the Mid-American Conference, with teams crossing the country to face opponents who were hardly on their radar. Entering Saturday, the conference was a collective 19-20, with a strength of schedule ranked seventh in the nation, below the Mid-American and barely ahead of Conference USA, according to the Web site RealTimeRPI.com.
