In terms of academic profile, the AAC looks like the P5. The other conferences don't.
7 of the 12 football schools are Carnegie I in research while 4 others are Carnegie II. Only Navy, which is an elite undergraduate school, is not.
There are only 9 Tier I in the other 4 conferences and all but the MAC have 4 or 5 schools below Carnegie II. The MAC has 1, but only has 1 tier I.
In the P5, 7 of the 10 Big 12 and 10 of the 14 SEC schools are Tier I. Only 8 in P5 are Tier II while the other 57 are Tier I.
The results are similar when you look at the number of USNWR national top 200 schools. All P5 are in, almost all the AAC, only some of the rest.
The MAC has 1 really good school. The MWC has most of their schools in the top 200, like the AAC. The MWC has 3 tier 1 schools research schools: Hawaii, Colorado St, New Mexico and elite Air Force. SDSU is tier 2? Wow, Fanhood. CUSA has Rice and no one else. Sun Belch has no one.
C-USA has Rice, FIU, UAB and UNT in Carnegie tier 1.
Plus in tier 2 are FAU, UTEP, UTSA, USM, Charlotte, ODU
