The B1G has Michigan/Ohio State, the SEC has Alabama/Florida, the ACC has Florida State/Clemson, the Big 12 has Texas/ Oklahoma, the PAC-12 has USC/Stanford. The AAC, up to date, does not have a power program capable of competing for national titles. UCF had one great year. Houston had one great year. Both seasons did not elevate either program to national "power" status. If any AAC program gets to that level, it is likely that it will be gobbled up up an actual power conference, which therein lies the unwinnable scenario the American (as a conference, not for its members) face: if it does well, the successful teams get poached; if it isn't successful, then it remains a G5.

AAC schools need to (continue) using the league as a launching pad to bigger and brighter things, because that's what the Power 5 view it is. Is it fair? Of course not - but the Power 5 dictate everything with TV partners, and they won't just allow the AAC in because they want to be included.

Those are exactly my thoughts and it's the same thing I used to say on the MWC board.
