2 Weeks Left? The American is Still Up for Grabs | All American - Week 13 (November 19, 2025)

All American Week 13!

If you thought there would be a clearer picture of who would be in the American Conference Championship Game after last week. Well that is just simply not the case. Maria Trivelpiece and Kyle Youmans break down week 13 from Studio A. 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.

After 2 striaght losses it was a big bounce back for Navy as the Midshipmen took down 24th ranked South Florida in Annapolis. A team effort on offense and defense propelled the Midshipmen to the win and staying as one of those 1 loss teams across the conference. Now 6-1 with a bye this week they look ahead to what hopefully is a busy few weeks ahead.

If you wanted gorgeous jerseys look no further than Tulane. In their city edition jerseys honoring New Orleans, the Green Wave used big defensive moments with multiple takeaways along with timely offense to get the win against Florida Atlantic. They now look ahead to Temple this week as their quest for another berth in the American title game.

North Texas continued its winnign ways in Birmingham as the Caleb Hawkins show dominated UAB. The freshman running back set a program record with 5 rushing TD's in a single game. Now 9-1 the Mean Green look to Rice this weekend and what they need to do against another option offense to stay at the top of the American.

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. The Golden Hurricane's win over Oregon State was the first since Oklahoma State back in September. They will look to build on this against a desparate Army team seeking bowl eligibility with a win in their final 2 games.

They also preview South Florida-UAB, UConn-Florida Atlantic.  and Charlotte-Georgia to round out the American Conference slate. Along with looking at the 5 teams seeking 1 or 2 wins in the final 2 weeks to become bowl eligible.

It was a tough week in the American as Assistant Commissioner of Communication Chuck Sullivan lost his ongoing battle with Melanoma at the age of 54. Chuck who worked in college athletics for 25 years was a legend in the industry known across the college media landscape. Maria and Kyle share their stories on Chuck and highlight the outpouring on social media of people who he touched and how he will be grealty missed.

After the big win over South Florida on Saturday Navy Running Back Alex Tecza joins Maria to discuss the big win. They discuss what led to the success agains the Bulls and what it will take to beat Memphis in the final game of the regular season. Along with the special bond between him and teammate Eli Heidenreich that dates back to growing up in Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania.

Maria and Kyle then look at the matchups for this week and see which logo they like better when they are flipped around. Let's just say there are some good and some not so much.

Top plays finishes the show as usual. Great catches, saves, special teams being special and goalie goals highlight the top 5 this week.
