I think you meant to word that AAC then MWC, and not the other way around. Boise and Wyoming are decent. Everyone else is pretty mediocre there.

The AAC had a couple of FCS losses last week, but that didn't phase them from still having fairly impressive OOC wins this week. Mountain West will never be equal to AAC, because of its dependence on one program, to gain national eyes.
I thought the order was self explanatory. The AAC is a tweeter conference for sure. I wouldn't see an issue for them having an automatic BCS or whatever it's called berth. They've proved their worth each bowl season.
But yes, the Sun Belt has been nearly in line with the MWC. The Sun Belt would be wise to try to bring Marshall and WKU back.
Where have you been?
AAC was like 2-12 versus other G-5 in bowl games (Brett McMurphy tweeted this out), Tech beat their #2 in bowl 2016 then crushed another AAC by 50 last year
UCF 2013
Houston 2015
UCF 2017
That's a perfect 3-0 record in NY6 bowl games. CUSA and Sun Belt have never even sent a team to one.

You have to have a destination to leave...the MAC doesn't want them. Maybe start from scratch, but that isn't easy.

Fixed it for you....why in the hell would anyone want to be in a conference with Coastal Carolina. Just go visit Myrtle Beach on your own time lol

Heck no. We don't want to go to the MAC, I was just pointing out that they'd love to have us. They would be desperate to take us back, to the point we could probably work out our own TV deal like Boise does with the MWC.

Two things:
1. FAU is a strange team to have in the West of just about anything.
2. You get FAU and FIU, no matter what realignment. One comes with the other. That's just the way it is.

Why you find this relevant is beyond me. Your champion often gets matched up with one of our mid level teams. So what? People nationally have no idea what happens in low level bowl games; people do remember that UCF beat Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl, or Houston beat FSU in the Peach Bowl and that UCF beat Auburn in the Peach Bowl.
Navy annihilated your clear cut champion last year. Does that matter, or not? I can't keep up with which games you deem relevant or not.
The AAC finished with a team in the Top 10 last year and 2 others ranked which was the same as the PAC12. CUSA didn't have a ranked team all year. It's shaping up much the same this year.
Do you really not see a difference here?

FIU didn’t seem to have any issues leaving FAU behind when they initially joined CUSA without FAU.

Oh no, I did not suggest that this is up to schools. it just seems that when both apply, they are both taken.

Lots of overreacting. Also the realignment made me laugh out loud especially with the schools/markets left out. I should say something as equally as ridiculous and state that we should bring back the SWC conference w/ all the Texas teams.

Louisville Basketball beat UCONN 3 times in the 2013-2014 MBB season. Nobody remembers that. They remember UCONN winning it all. Likewise, bowl wins are nice, but BCS/Access Bowl wins are the only ones that are remembered.

Restructuring with programs from other conferences is not the answer. C-USA West doesn't need to be revamped. North Texas and LA Tech are rolling. USM and UAB dropped some bad games, but it isn't like it is a trend yet. UTSA is still the only game in San Antonio. Rice looks to be getting better, and their rebuild just started. It doesn't look like much is changing at UTEP yet, but it is only their second game under a new coach.
If you have problems with the East, that is up to the East to work out.

Just gotta face that some years CUSA is gonna be ****** and some years it's gonna be good. More years than not we're gonna be better than the Belt and MAC and trailing the MWC and AAC.

RE: This is THE WORST CUSA has ever been in fb, period.
As I stated earlier in the year...this is THE worst that CUSA has ever been in it's existence. There's so many things we can point to, to substantiate this claim. It's sad. We've been passed up by the Sun Belt, MAC, and obviously the MWC, AAC. Change my mind.
