RE: McMurphy - Boise and SDSU glad they didn't stick around AAC
The edge the AAC has over CUSA/SBC is tradition.

Almost every school in the AAC has at one point in time participated in one of the 6 CFP bowls. Its a set of schools that have been considered major for a long period of time, though there is no national powers.

If Florida State and Clemson joined the AAC it would be a legit contract bowl conference with a few powers while the others are not much different than the rank and file ACC schools, athletically and academically.

Some on here argue that the AAC is no different than CUSA/SBC because of a common footprint. 1/3 of the AAC is out of that footprint completely (UC, UConn, Temple, Navy). The budgets in the AAC are all higher than what is found in the CUSA/SBC too.

I would not be surprised if the CFP expanded to 8 bowls during the next cycle and added the AAC as a floater contract league.
