I respectfully disagree. It would be Memphis beating #10 Ole Miss this weekend. Ohio State is now #22, and Cincy is regarded as a contender for the AAC title, while Memphis is still a mystery to the outside world.

Cincy beating OSU is more likely, but Memphis beating Ole Miss would be bigger for the AAC.

Do it, then.

We can celebrate both.

Amen. The only thing I can guarantee is the effort will be there.

The implications of a Memphis and a Cincinnati win this weekend would not only mean that the AAC would have locked up the Access Bowl, because that would almost certainly mean that the AAC would have 3 ranked teams; but that would also mean that Cincinnati could make a strong case for being in the playoffs if they win out; because they would be able to say that they beat 2 other ranked conference teams. I know it is dreaming, but it is possible if Cincinnati and Memphis win this weekend. Aresco would be here

3 ranked teams every year should be the goal at any rate. Turn from upsets to expectations.
