Up front with it - apples to apples with the Conf. as it stands today.
You want to look at both overall winning percentage and in conf winning percentage for most consistently good 2013-2017...
#1 Navy .683 .782
#2 Houston .698 .675
#3 UCF .607 .667
#4 Memphis .639 .615
#5 USF .567 .615
(with Houston nosin ahead on only overall winning percentage 44-19 to 43-20)
Let me put it to you in terms even a three year old can understand. It’s all about the conference championship. UCF has more AAC championships without cherry picking data than anybody in this conference since its inception. This year Memphis has the opportunity to tie UCF, or UCF has the opportunity to further distance itself from the pack, or usf could win their first ever division and conference championship.
I bolded the parts where I am pretty obviously not denying your number of championships, nor claiming "flagship" and specifically addressing the "most consistently good" part. MY post quoted the four other posts which were going down that path (St H Gink, Tigersmoke, WhoseHouse, Sundanceuiuc).
Either you don't make a habit of reading the whole thread, or you're VERY insecure...
I’m not “VERY insecure” about anything. I find it extremely telling that you didn’t utilize conference championships in the subjective criterion you used. That is precisely why I referenced conference championships. To me that is the ultimate definition of consistency. Winning the most conference championships. They don’t hand out trophies for any of the criterion you used, but strangely they do for championships. You can have a hearty handshake and a pat on the back for “highest” winning percentage, but at UCF its all about the hardware.

Well, I thought I kind of acknowledged that Navy didn't have any conference championships yet. In post #32 I said: For "flagship" you almost have to talk championships and NY6 bowls (so no Navy in that conversation yet), but you can also talk end-of-year rankings, #weeks in the AP/Coaches polls, and CFP Rankings both post-CCG and # weeks.
I honestly think if you win three trophies but have an o-fer season in there you have taken yourself out of the running for any kudos including the word "consistently." Sorry.
"UCF has the most conference championships - I am impressed" and "UCF sadly has not been the most consistently good over that time" can both be true.
Probably detracted from clarity that I started looking at "most consistently good" with the 2015-2017 seasons to get a true apples to apples of the current divisions and just Navy being in the conference. Got quickly called on it, and in posts 36-37 re-opened the time window to 2013-2017 - dropped talk of division finishes because they didn't exist for the whole span being considered.
Can I reiterate that I tried to convey a positive? My message of peace is that it speaks to the strength of the conference overall, top to bottom, that you have six different division winners/tied in the conversation and every one is worth national attention. #AmericanPow6r

Perhaps you are right. While UCF hasn’t been the most “consistently good” (by winning percentages) it appears they have been the most consistently great (by conference championships). So let me ask you this, would you rather have a higher winning percentage and never win any conference championships, or would you prefer a lower winning percentage and multiple conference championships? I think most objective observers would opt for the latter!

I would imagine that almost all would probably go for two to three championships, even if they are taken with the downturn year(s).
I'll freely admit that my perspective may be slightly different than most. First, still weaning myself from 134 years of independence. A lot was accomplished in those first 134 years without any conference hardware, so...
Second, a Navy fan who measured success by national championships would be MIGHTY disappointed (at least since 1926). We know who we are. It has been great to be at the top of the division standings for the first two years; it was great to host the CCG and disappointing to lose that game and watch someone else celebrate on our field. When we win one, I'll scan the horizon to measure ourselves against those who have more and set a new target. Until then, our hallmark in the Johnson-Niumatalolo era has been pretty impressive consistency and success (wins vs P5/BCS, total wins, 8 win seasons, staff consistency) and I'll revel in that and being a fan in this Golden Age of Navy Football.

Navy has nothing to be ashamed of. They are a welcome addition to the AAC by all measures.

In 2015, Memphis was ranked and undefeated and riding high in the CFP. Then Navy came to town and whipped our butts in front of 50,000 fans on national TV. Most Tiger fans imho were really impressed and knew that a great team had won and that Navy football would be a thorn in everybody's side then and down the road. Although Navy didn't need the AAC to be good, I think that membership has probably had some benefits to y'all as well and hope that Navy fans feel it's a good fit.

I don't know about the talent part, but I completely agree about the coaching. If I had to guess just by what I've seen across the league I'd say probably in the 7-10 range talent wise, but I think you could argue last coaching wise.

So yeah.........flagship.
They also went 0-12 a couple of years ago. So there's that.
And that's so relevant today.
If 10-0 is relevant, then so the hell is 0-12. Just sayin'...
I don't know what you are talking about. #shortmemory
LOL. Good response. And convenient.

I’ll point out that there isn’t much difference between 1-10 and 0-12.

Second, a Navy fan who measured success by national championships would be MIGHTY disappointed (at least since 1926). We know who we are. It has been great to be at the top of the division standings for the first two years; it was great to host the CCG and disappointing to lose that game and watch someone else celebrate on our field. When we win one, I'll scan the horizon to measure ourselves against those who have more and set a new target. Until then, our hallmark in the Johnson-Niumatalolo era has been pretty impressive consistency and success (wins vs P5/BCS, total wins, 8 win seasons, staff consistency) and I'll revel in that and being a fan in this Golden Age of Navy Football.
In 2015, Memphis was ranked and undefeated and riding high in the CFP. Then Navy came to town and whipped our butts in front of 50,000 fans on national TV. Most Tiger fans imho were really impressed and knew that a great team had won and that Navy football would be a thorn in everybody's side then and down the road. Although Navy didn't need the AAC to be good, I think that membership has probably had some benefits to y'all as well and hope that Navy fans feel it's a good fit.
The AAC has absolutely benefited from Navy's membership. Since they came aboard and balanced the divisions, both the conference champ and runner up have ended the year ranked by the CFP committee. The AAC is the only conference outside the power conferences to end up with both division winners ranked.

5. Houston (Is this the end of Applewhite?)
6. SMU (Currently in their toughest stretch.)
7. Temple (Stock is rising.)

9. East Carolina (Nice win over Cincy.)
10. UConn (Not a bad showing against BC.)
11. Cincinnati (Blown out by a two-win team.)
12. Tulsa (Just two wins on the year.)
Flagship?class of the conference? Does that include o-12, because I don't recall Memphis ever doing that in the AAC. We've been probably the most consistently "good football program " in this conference
I hope you’re aware that this is a ranking of the conference based on the play of the past week.
However, let’s play your game and say this is instead a ranking of every team’s entire time in the AAC. It doesn’t change anything for UCF.
AAC Championships
2 UCF (No. 3 coming?)
1 Cincinnati
1 Houston
1 Memphis
1 Temple
AAC Wins
26 UCF
26 Houston
24 Memphis
24 South Florida
22 Temple
19 Cincinnati
18 Navy
12 SMU
12 Tulsa
11 East Carolina
11 UConn
7 Tulane
