Check out KSU at Texas Tech today--plenty of major schools draw flies. Don't conflate games like Michigan v. Ohio State or Alabama v. Auburn with the majority of major conference games.

Texas Tech is struggling at 4 - 5, Houston at 6 - 3 still has a shot at AAC division there's a difference.

And Tech still drew 47k. I'd gladly take that.

You are not "technically" G5, you are G5 by every single imaginable metric. Not only that, you will never be a power conference and no amount of commercials, or hashtags, or helmet stickers, or threads on the CUSA board will ever change that.


The only P5 conference under twelve members didn't find a single member of the AAC to be a worthy expansion candidate, but you think CUSA message board threads are the first step to the entire conference being deemed worthy of the "Power" moniker?


A move to a P4 is exponentially more likely than a move to a P6.

True....The P5's don't lurk over here because they don't have to try to convince us that they are overall far superior..even if we all post about them on here... The AAC still finds the need to come over here to "convince" us that they are far superior... better conference? Yes....exponentially better? Not on your life

You guys think you're Scut Farckas.....but you're really just Grover Dill.

The AAC has 3 ranked teams in the polls today with UCF roughly one week from entering the Top 10.

Where can I find the CUSA teams in these rankings?

Predictable pivot

Congratulations, the AAC is having a great year, but that is totally and completely irrelevant to the actual discussion.

Three ranked teams or not, you're still G5.

Problem with your line of thinking is that they are here responding in threads that were created by G4 fanboys going on pissed off rants against the AAC.
Its not our fault that we are the 6th best conference, make more money than peanuts, have bigger budgets, bigger fan bases, have more exposure (national broadcasts), have a few OTA ABC intraconference games a year, actually win BCS/NY6 bowls, are a major basketball conference, get more love from the committee, AP, and coaches.
Sorry about that..... but continue to have your rants against the AAC and their marketing separating themselves from the G4.
I am sorry that you have someone running your conference who rides around in a power wheels, but damn....... If your conference put just a tenth of the energy into improving your conference that you all put into trying to knock the P6 campaign.......... maybe just maybe you won't actually have to PAY a media company to broadcast your games next media deal.

I was going to respond to your post but this poster sums it up perfectly as to why we are "technically" G5.

[snip]

it doesn't matter, dude. records don't matter, rankings don't matter, results don't matter. you're not in, you're not getting in, they look down their nose at you, and they think it's comical that you're so desperate for it to look like you're "included".

the whole P5 line was drawn to make sure it was impossible for anyone to get in ever. no matter what they did. PERIOD.

think it through. do you think they went to all the trouble of creating a night/day distinction, just so they could muddy it up by letting in the riffraff they just got done excluding? it just beggars belief.

if you want to destroy the disparity, it starts with blowing up the entire conference apparatus, not strengthening it.

22divided by 6 = 3.66 AAC has 3 teams in the top 22. Power 6 fits pretty well. G4 have 0 in Gang of 4 fits pretty well.

trashing another g5 conference may make you feel better, but it doesn't make you sexier to the p5.
