Well said!

^This is what you really meant to say. Get ready for that 4-14 to 6-12 conference record year in and year out. It will be just like old times in CUSA, except with more losses tagged on! At least you'll get to watch your team lose on TV every week.

edit (for hilarity): Here's ECU's combined record against current AAC teams: 33-87 (27.5%). You have a losing record against everyone. If your record holds true you'll manage about 5 AAC wins a year. Gonna be fun to watch next year. I'm glad I get ECU games on my TV.

At least everyone gets to see us on national TV losing in basketball...lol

One question, are the UAB fan who sits on the visitors side or are you the other UAB fan who sits on home side. Always wondered why the 2 UAB fans just don't sit together.

Yeah ECU's percentage is only going to get worse, because they will no longer have automatic wins against UAB.

You guys are going undefeated. A 4-3 UAB is not scary. "Other tough games Rice and FAU". How are you going to be alive after murder row? You a ready made it out of FIU (that lost to Bethune Cookman). Quite an amazing story...need a Disney movie for that feat.

Yeah, it's almost as elite as UCF's October 18th to November 28th schedule:

#110 Tulane W 20-13
#80 Temple
#121 Connecticut
#119 Tulsa
#124 SMU
#102 South Florida

I don't know how you guys managed to beat the #110 FBS team by a touchdown at home. Kudos. Luckily you guys get 5 bye weeks between the Temple and ECU game on December 4th. I know that Uconn, Tulsa, and SMU stretch is going to be really difficult. It's going to be a tall order to not have a loss after playing 3 bottom 10 teams in a row.

It's pretty easy to insult anyone's schedule in the AAC or CUSA (or any G5 team) due to how low almost everyone is rated, but you don't see Marshall barely squeaking out games at home against really bad teams. They're winning by 30+ points and beating every team worse than anyone else beats them. FIU, even with their FCS loss, is better than 5 of the final 7 teams on UCF's schedule. Don't act like an AAC conference schedule is some terrible thing to overcome.

Nobody is saying ucf deserves the access spot either so what is your point? If we had Marshall JV schedule, we would be undefeated too.

And the fact that we played the sec, big 10 in another country, and BYU....we are scared of competition. The c-usa has zero p5 wins and multiple FCS losses. Your signature wins are against us.

Your signature BYU win is kind of a joke since they lost their QB. They're now on a 3 game losing streak. They'll probably end up 2-6 or 3-5 in their last 8 games without Taysom Hill. Their replacement QB isn't terrible, but they're just not the same team.

The AAC has barely any FBS ooc wins at all. ECU's entire conference schedule only beat 4 FBS teams OOC.

These are the FBS teams UCF, Temple, Cinci, USF, Tulsa, SMU, Tulane, and Uconn have beaten OOC: #51 BYU, #77 Toledo, #105 Vanderbilt, #122 Miami-OH

Here's every team's best win on ECU's conf. schedule:

UCF: #51 BYU
Temple: #105 Vanderbilt
Cinci: #77 Toledo
USF: #119 Tulsa
Tulane: #121 Uconn
Tulsa: #110 Tulane
Uconn: No FBS wins
SMU: No FBS wins

ECU only has to play 2 conference opponents who have wins in the top 100 after 8 weeks of college football. Please...just stop arguing strength of schedule. This whole thing is pointless. It's like two bad conferences arguing over who is only a tiny bit less crappy. I'll stop too . I know neither of us are ever going to agree with the other one anyways.

Mods please close this (my) thread. It is doing nothing.

If you stay up all night like your boy Banker you might see another Marshall reference and you two can thunder over here pretending you're a herd and natter on again about your oh so powerful schedule and how you're really better than ECU, yada, yada, blah, blah. It boils down to who loses first. Now go outside and get some sunshine and fresh air. I'm sure someone else will give you some fodder tonight.

we get it shrack..you are delusinal c-usa homer who thinks the committee full of P5 ad's wont conisder unc and VT good wins...will consider SC a bad loss despite the fact SC is an SC tem and beat top 10 UGA with gurley

all of which you are basing on a ranking system which is not even allowed in the committee deliberation room

and if i remeber correcttly you were just saying last week akron would beat houston...we get it .. we get your agenda..we dont need to see your twisted logic on why are schedules are bad. and some how equivalent to marshalls

who's best win in akron (lost to ohio)..... or mtsu (blownout by memphis) both of which aarent impresssing anyone
