Decent? I beg to differ!

Va Tech is 4-4 and still have to play Boston College and Virginia at home and Duke on the road. Va Tech just got smashed by Miami at home and the three teams above are just as good as Miami. You still think Va Tech got a decent shot at getting to a bowl game? Three of 4 Va Tech losses have come at home. That's not decent at all.

UNC is 4-4 and still has to play at Miami and Duke but get Pitt and NC State at home. I guess you can call that a decent shot at two wins. They ain't gonna beat Miami and Duke and NC State is a rival game. The State game could come down to one of those teams becoming bowl eligible.

SC is 4-4 but they have a very soft schedule the rest of the way so they will definitely go to a bowl game.

As far as the AAC's worst teams, I don't think Houston is one of the AAC's worst teams and we can't help that Tulsa and SMU has stunk it up. They represent the AAC and they got their asses kicked. Stop making excuses for losing three games to CUSA because deep down inside, it makes you sick that CUSA won those games.

I guess you missed my previous statement about before and after O'Korn was benched. He was horrible this year.

To be honest with you, I really don't give 2 ***** what the rest of the AAC does as long as we've got a couple of decent conference games on the schedule. ECU doesn't have problems getting P5's to play us. If you guys honestly think that wins vs UNC and VT are the same as wins vs Little Miami and Ohio... more power to you.

Doesn't matter about O'Korn. Point is CUSA couldn't help preseason favorite UH along with Tulsa and SMU sucked when the games were played. You guys had them penciled as wins before the season started.

Just like ECU can't help those P-5 wins aren't looking as impressive as they look at when they were played. So if you really don't give two ***** you're certainly isn't posting like it.

That would be news to Memphis and Temple.

Before swapping out O'Korn at QB, yes they were.

So many asterisks next to the AAC arguments! 05-stirthepot

Only one team standing undefeated.

RE: RollingStone: Why you should root for the Marshall Thundering Herd
I find it funny they (some ECU and AAC posters) get so defensive about stuff. I'm pretty certain everyone here is in agreement that ECU definitely had the better schedule than Marshall from a perception perspective. If the AAC'ers and ECU people just stick to the facts with their arguments instead of using so many asterisks they wouldn't get shot down so much.

They've used the Sagarin ranking = failed
They've used the RPI ranking = failed
They've used Power rankings = failed
Head to head = asterisks

The only they got is that CUSA has no P-5 wins. Congrats AAC, you've won an argument.

Fixed it for you.

I will not believe for a second that the ECU in conference schedule (which includes UConn, Tulsa, SMU and Tulane) is better than the Marshall in conference schedule (which will include a championship game against the West divisional winner).

I agree. Now can we report sherie khan for trolling?

Yup, and it ain't Rice.

Well, this is about as relevant to the discussion as the rest of your arguments here. Thanks for stopping by to say hello.
