I still use ESPN for fantasy football and play some of their other college games. Conferences are listed in alphabetical order except for the first two.... Atlantic Coast Conference still comes before American Athletic Conference.

The slightest of snubs possible...

Alphabetically:
ACC
American (per commissioners request of not being labeled AAC)

Umm.... that's a reach.
ESPN has snubbed us in many ways. This is not one of them.

Try their recruiting scorecard. Our conference is not listed, nor are the teams in our conference.

Are any G-5 conferences listed on thier recruiting scoreboard? If the other G5 conferences are listed, then ai tend to think its just a slow and inefficient reaction to realignment and our name change. If no G5 schools are listed it might be a quick peak at what life would be like should there ever be a split between the P5 and the G5. People who think that the G5 would flourish under such a split are delusional. Much like FCS, we would become invisible.

The fact that they're both spelled out kinda makes me wonder why Atlantic Coast Conference is above American Athletic Conference

Other G5 are listed. They just haven't taken the time to create the template for the American.

maybe the person who did that is bad at spelling? I really doubt it was meant to be a snub at AAC

Nice piece on SMU today
