Actually, his contention is that the first season of AAC football was no better or worse than the typical old Big East football----which was an AQ conference. That's probably fair. The old Big East was generally solid at the top, terrible at the bottom, and did pretty well in BCS games more often than not.

Unless you're talking about the 90's BIG EAST with Syracuse in full swing, Miami in full swing, and VT on the upswing, with Temple ad Rutgers fighting to be more pathetic than the other, you are completely wrong. The last version of the BIG EAST was very solid in the bottom and middle, and non-existent at the top.

If the BIG EAST had Ohio State and Michigan, Alabama and Florida, Texas and Oklahoma, USC and Oregon, or FSU and Clemson, we would have been a very, very good conference, and a very respected conference. Our middle could beat anybody's middle, except the SEC, and our bottom could beat anybody's bottom, including the SEC.
