...to prove my point

Dang it HOD, I happen to agree with you. I don't really think the other g4 conferences can produce a champion that's good enough to win a NY6 bowl let alone compete for a championship. The g5 bid basically comes down to the AAC against Boise State and maybe Sdsu really. The AAC has spent the past 5 years of its brief existence proving that it can compete at a legitimate level while the rest of the g5 conferences have been sitting back on their collective arses doing what got them left behind in the first place. What bothers me is everybody keep trying to frame UCF's win as a chance to debate whether the g5 can produce a worthy champ. The AAC has - one men Ncaa men's basketball championship
2-3 women's basketball championships
3 NY6 bowl victory in 5 years.
Not once did you or anyone hear the AAC say or even acknowledge anything about the g4, because none of that had anything to do with them

This is exactly where the "P6" idea is foolish. Pushing for an enlargement of the playoff to 8, and arguing that the system is unfair, is going to meet immediate resistance from everyone in the actual autonomy conferences. They stand little to nothing to gain from it. The G5 (which, like it or not, DOES include the AAC) can be supportive of UCF's and the AAC's push for greater access, but that will be harder to get if the AAC is giving a giant "F*** you!" to the SBC, MWC, C-USA, and MAC. The "P6" marketing, and especially the mocking "G4" garbage, alienates four leagues who would otherwise make for great allies of the AAC.

Congrats. The AAC is the best G5 league. No one would argue otherwise. It's still a G5 league.

***NEWSFLASH*** to you and ark30inf, there is no such thing as a g5 division in college football!! There is no contractual collective case that the AAC can make for you . I encourage you and your programs and conference leaders to put together a plan for improvement and possible inclusion into this made up thing known as the p5 just like the AAC is doing.

How about this plan...the 5 conferences that are discriminated against work together to turn the league's playoff system into one that treats its constituent parts like all other sports leagues do?

Far more likely to have successful outcome than stabbing each other in the neck and being trolling dbags will.

How has myself or the AAC "stabbed " anyone in the neck? What makes you think that the AAC has the same goal in mind as the other g5 conferences? The AAC has been very upfront from the beginning what it's goals and aspirations were, and it never included any other g5 conferences, sorry. Hey I really wish you guys good luck and I pull for y'all honestly but your problems start and end with your pitiful
conference leaders not the AAC. Honestly I think that the sunbelt is great and better than the Mac or CUSA
