Come on American....

Playing well but losing a close game and a moral victory lasts about a week before it’s completely forgotten by the media. When the argument starts about if any G5 is a power conference the debate always starts with “how many P5’s did they beat?” Again it's just my opinion but a win over Perdue is more valuable to the conference than a loss to Georgia.

I agree with you, but it's a lot easier said than done. I'd love to play an OOC schedule of Kansas, Purdue, Syracuse, and Wash St.

I think we have a high ceiling and a very low bottom. The bottom of the league is atrocious. I think ECU, UCF, Cincy, Memphis, Temple, and Houston will all bring home some big wins for this conference.

Do you try hard at dooshbaggary or does it come naturally for you?

Yeah--it kinda is. Budgets and fan base size matters. Tulane is not amazing--but they have the budget and an SEC history. Two teams were in the old SWC and budgets that dwarf much of the G5. Houston has defeated Texas on many occasions---that doesn't mean Houston suddenly became more valuable or a better program than Texas. Of course not---It just meant Houston had a good year. The AAC and MW have the vast majority of the G5 programs with any historical significance. The Big East spent a decade blasting the ACC in the orange Bowl. Didn't make the Big East more powerful than the ACC now did it? Of course not.

AAC fans in waves were arguing that history does not matter in an attempt to discredit all the BE moveups such as Pitt, BC, & Cuse. I'm glad that a lot of AAC fans like yourself are rational at times, but the hypocrisy of certain AAC talking points is mind blowing.

I am not saying anything until after Friday. Do not want to send out bad Karma. The Bearcats on paper should be very good, but it is only on paper. Friday night at Toledo will tell the direction.

Come on American....
Jeebus I can't believe I just read three pages of defeatism lead by a cuse fan. I am sorry but in football cuse and Pitt aren't much better if at all than the top half of the league.
I am also in the camp that says that history doesn't matter except to the p5. In going further it only matters to some. Now time does favor the development of fanbases but some p5s are so small that I would suggest that it doesn't matter. Pretty much every team in this league is in transition between coach, turnover, and recruiting level. The only difference between us and the p5 is dollars and butts in seats. Those are the same differences between us and the other g5. So if that makes you power teams then it should for us as well. This year has sucked so far because we aren't in the normal cycle of ups and downs everyone else is. There were some lopsided losses but a lot were close. I still feel in terms of fans, budgets, and SOS we are better than the other g5. You will have a couple of teams get hot but I think we have stronger programs. Lastly look at that SOS again. People bad mouth the Mac etc for being weak but then prop them up when they do well against themselves in conference. I contend that we are the stronger conference and I hope the teams prove me right. It is weak 2 in a conference rebuild. I think we notch a couple of big wins this week and drive on. Remember two of our top tier teams were idle this week. Bring on mizzou. We have to play and win against top. 25 not the dredges. That's what builds recruiting and respect. Not Perdue

And that goes both ways. Tell me what cuse or Pitt has done to justify that outside of bball. The difference is I am not on the acc board heralding my opinions. You guys left. You got a pay day. That's great for you although I was looking forward to playing in a big east with Pitt and cuse. You got called up for market and your bball to a bball heavy conf. It will be good for cuse bball and good for your coffers. I think I am echoing what others have said. Go pee in your own Cheerios and stay out of ours. The games will be played and I do think things will turn around for us. Make no mistake, we all envy that you moved but we will do it on our own just like the big east did.

I can't speak for the other AAC teams and it's too early for me to look them up. Ucf beat Georgia in 2010, Ball State in 2012 and Baylor in the Fiesta in 2013. The sec couldn't fill their bowl team in 2012 and we controlled that game with the same team that went to the Fiesta the following year. They may not have been a p5 but that was not our fault. I am not sure that's a good measuring stick as I would take a bcs bowl win over a "p5 bowl".

And you can thank the likes of Syracuse, WVU, Vtech, Miami, Pitt, & BC for getting that AQ bowl bid in the first place. Otherwise UCF would never have gotten the chance.

Why would I thank you? We earned our invite just like everyone else. That still has no bearing on the argument. We would have beaten another p5 team in another bowl. Again I would rather have joined the big east intact. That's what we thought we were doing in 2011. All I am saying is that I believe that we are stronger programs than the rest of the g5 and I hope it bears it out. We have similar differences with the rest of the g5 and just because we had two bad weeks doesn't mean that changes. Look at last year. We didn't lose anybody that contributed to last years success in the major sports. What's changed other than Lville. None of the others have the tool box to match or meet that success.

LOL, the American as it stood that year would not had been an AQ had it been a brand new league. It inherited everything from the Big East excepts its name and thus inherited the AQ bid.

The BE only became an AQ league because of the likes of Miami, BC, Syracuse, wvu, pitt, & vtech who built it, and had the prestige to make it nationally relevant.

I can't speak for the other AAC teams and it's too early for me to look them up. Ucf beat Georgia in 2010, Ball State in 2012 and Baylor in the Fiesta in 2013. The sec couldn't fill their bowl team in 2012 and we controlled that game with the same team that went to the Fiesta the following year. They may not have been a p5 but that was not our fault. I am not sure that's a good measuring stick as I would take a bcs bowl win over a "p5 bowl".

And you can thank the likes of Syracuse, WVU, Vtech, Miami, Pitt, & BC for getting that AQ bowl bid in the first place. Otherwise UCF would never have gotten the chance.

Why would I thank you? We earned our invite just like everyone else. That still has no bearing on the argument. We would have beaten another p5 team in another bowl. Again I would rather have joined the big east intact. That's what we thought we were doing in 2011. All I am saying is that I believe that we are stronger programs than the rest of the g5 and I hope it bears it out. We have similar differences with the rest of the g5 and just because we had two bad weeks doesn't mean that changes. Look at last year. We didn't lose anybody that contributed to last years success in the major sports. What's changed other than Lville. None of the others have the tool box to match or meet that success.

LOL, the American as it stood that year would not had been an AQ had it been a brand new league. It inherited everything from the Big East excepts its name and thus inherited the AQ bid.

The BE only became an AQ league because of the likes of Miami, BC, Syracuse, wvu, pitt, & vtech who built it, and had the prestige to make it nationally relevant.

I think everyone here understands aq status and that it was already there when we joined. Again we were good enough to join a bcs league in 2011. What difference does it make.

The difference is I am not on the acc board heralding my opinions. You guys left. You got a pay day. That's great for you although I was looking forward to playing in a big east with Pitt and cuse. You got called up for market and your bball to a bball heavy conf. It will be good for cuse bball and good for your coffers. I think I am echoing what others have said. Go pee in your own Cheerios and stay out of ours. The games will be played and I do think things will turn around for us. Make no mistake, we all envy that you moved but we will do it on our own just like the big east did.

uh...yeah, but mostly just Vtech and Miami. The other on that list, not so much...

not really. SU was strong in the late 80s which was exactly when the power leagues were just being formally established for the first time.
