Rooting for or against the rest of G5?
I fear this has been done before, but we're getting closer to kickoff for OOC games and I'm still not sure where I stand and was hoping someone can convince me to care one way or the other.

When the P5 teams play the MWC or CUSA or MAC, who is the AAC rooting for? I see a few reasons for each.

Reasons to root for P5:
Helps AAC champ get Access bowl
Any hit to MWC or others helps us differentiate as the best G5

Reasons to root for G5:
Screw the P5
Helps establish that P5 is not actually on a higher level on the field
Improve value of non-P5 football to TV/adv and possibly recruits

I'm not rooting for P5 teams unless they are ones that have done ECU right, which basically at this point leaves VT.

I don't root for the Pompous Five or the Little 4. I don't watch their games. I watch USF's games and games from teams within their conference. Other then that, I'll only use those schools names as a reference as to what channels not to turn too. 07-coffee3

Right now the way the system is set up. We are competing vs the other G5 for that Bowl slot. So I'm rooting for the P5 vs any G5 other than the AAC.

RE: Rooting for or against the rest of G5?
the sysrem is set up for us to hate and compete against each other..for self interest we are going to be rooting against each

in the current system its who has the better champion, so every loss they have is but a plus for us
in the old system it was given to the teams that deserved it (reached a certain point) and even when they did deserve it we were always trash talked pre-bowl so it was every g5 vs the system so we cheered for each other..

different system

I'm going to boycott any P5 vs P5 game. With this silly arrangement I'm rooting for the p5 against the g4.

RE: Rooting for or against the rest of G5?
I will probably root for the so called P5 most of the time. I will not root for the little4/G4, because I don't want to be associated with the G4/little 4. I want the so called P5 to defeat everyone EXCEPT THE AAC. If the AAC can beat the so called P5, and everyone else can't, that will look great for the AAC

Against.....kill them in every game. If the P5 refuse to play us, then we are ALL done regardless.

At the same time, screw the Trust Fund 5.

I support Memphis first, and AAC second.

RE: Rooting for or against the rest of G5?
its foolish to root against the G5 in non conference games. A poor performance by the G5 vs the P5 only reinforces the discrimination that caused the FBS to be split into 'those deemed worthy' and 'those deemed unworthy' in the first place.

wanting the rest of the G5 to fail to make the AAC look like the tallest midget is not going to advance your (our) cause. Death to the P5.

you're missing the part where we win..and you lose

we are already the tallest midget.we want to be the shortest regular sized person

constantly getting the access bowls (which will require other g5 losing to p5) will benefit us in that cause
and separating ourselves from you guys (which also requires you guys losing also benefits us)

if an AAC team goes undefeated and completely dominates in the access and we start using that as leverage to be included in the p5 and why were arent like the other g5 ..but the following year a mac team does the exact same thing, that would sure make our argument look frail

You got that right. We want that extra couple million every year and add more separation with the G4.
