Tulane opens AAC play at East Carolina, followed by its annual Thursday night game against Houston, this time at home a week off before another Thursday night game at SMU, a couple of extra day to prepare for a home game with defending champion Cincinnati, a trip to UCF, home games with Tulsa and South Florida and a regular-season ending trip to Memphis.
The non-conference schedule, which was already known, features three home games and should not be a deterrence to reaching a bowl game if the Wave can be competitive in the AAC. History says Oklahoma at home and Ole Miss on the road will be losses, but but Morgan State at home and UAB at home should be wins, meaning Tulane would have to go 4-4 to reach .500.
To be clear, I'm not making becoming bowl eligible the goal. I'm just pointing out this schedule, though tougher than the past, two, is navigable if the Wave plays well. Tulane went 1-3 in non-conference games in 2018 but recovered to go 5-3 in the AAC.
