Boise played a tougher schedule than Memphis last year..
According to sagarin, boise's sos rank was 74, Memphis' was 120.

Just to remind you, the AAC was the 3rd best G5 football conference, CUSA 2, MW (On a down year) 1. The ever present notion on this board that the AAC is the most dominant G5 football conference is laughable.
MWC on a down year??? utah state and air force who recruits at dreadful level had 10 win teams
colorado state had its best season in nearly a decade
literally fresno was the only MWC team who wasnt on or better than their regular level
Not true. SDSU, Fresno, Hawaii, Nevada, & SJSU (The entire west division) were all down & under performed.
while on the other hand the AAC in a 11 team league had 1 qb who was an upperclassmen in the entire league...10 of the 11 qbs in our league were either freshmen or sophomore, with last year being their first season going into the year as the starter ... 3 of which even had season ending injuries early
Take a breath, guy. I never said the AAC wasn't down (this is the AAC board, so you all are well aware you were down), I was just pointing out the MWC was down aswell.
smu had its historical worst year, and 3 of our coaches had to be fired , 2 other had all but the head coach fired....
and you had the audacity to say you had the down year... Memphis had its best year ever but every single other team in the league had seasons lower than their average
Again, take it easy, I never said the AAC wasn't struggling. It was obvious, I mean CUSA was better than you guys this year.
the AAC dramatically out recruits the MWC..and its not even remotely close
boise dramatically outrecruits everyone in the MWC, why boise will always dominate that league but boise would be 5 on the average year in the AAC
This, again, isn't true. Boise out recruited everyone in the G5 last year, & is consistently at or near the top. According to 247, last year the MW had 3 teams Boise (#56 national rank, #1 MW), SJSU (#58 national rank, #2 MW), & SDSU (#66 national, #3 MW) out recruit the #1 ranked AAC school, Cincy (#67 national rank, #1 AAC).
our league is dramatically better top to bottom on the average year..it will be hard to tell because neither of us are at a p5 level in OOC games and someone has to win in your conference games..but put any mwc in the AAC for a season and it will be blatantly obvious
In year one you were the 3rd best G5 conference. Nobody in the AAC is close to Boise's football program. Boise would have the same success whether they're in the MW or AAC.
we'll see what happens this year when 2/3 of our league have upper classmen experienced qbs and not being forced to play freshman
Looking forward to it.
sjsu is regular bottom feeder.. are we using their 1 decent year as their standard?? and hawaii aswelll...
Eh, I wouldn't call them a bottom feeder. SJSU is historically a .500 program (.498 to be exact). Not great, but certainly not a bottom feeder. As far as Hawaii, their winning percentage is better than houston's (hawaii-.555 Houston - .534) not to mention they've been to a BCS bowl (2008 sugar bowl), something Houston has never done (Unless you want to count the cotton bowls in the '80s).
and sdsu and nevada didnt have a 'down' year they had their regular year,..down year means this isnt normal for them ..nevedas average win total the last decade i kid you not is exactly 7 wins...
Good call on Nevada. Would have figured with some of the great kaepernick teams they would have averaged more.. I guess not . As far as SDSU, even though they average right around ~7 wins, that team wasn't as good as some of their 7-8 win teams in the past. (Idk if that makes sense, but it makes sense to me :) )
fresno is the ONLY teams that had a "down" year...
The whole west division was terrible, & some of their records didn't necessarily reflect that (Nevada, SDSU)
2) i said average recruiting..sjsu had its best recruiting class ever with 33 recruits..but lets not pretend they dont average in the 120's over the last 8 years ..
and like i noted earlier we fired a ton of coaches last year, houston lost 6 recruits after we fired our coach including our 4star qb recruit....similar for the other teams..
Have any links to back up those SJSU claims? They tend to recruit very well, even though they may not perform as such.
(ill also not that that 247 has taken off our commits who didnt enroll but hasnt done it for certain teams in the MWC like SJSU, at the end of signing day USF finished with the best G5 recruiting class)
Okay, we'll use Scout.com then. OH LOOK, Boise is #1 in that ranking too.. Or is that wrong?
again you are using 1 year as a staple to make long term assumptions.... sjsu is a dreadful recruiting team on average..
Link?
ucf has been on a scholarship reduction punishment for the last 2 seasons, which is just ending, usf's average is in the high 40's, cincy is in the late 50's early 60's, houston is in the 60's.....
sdsu averages in the mid 70s similar for fresno..and beyond those 3 (including boise) it just gets really really ugly on the recruiting front ....the rest probably average 110 on the average year
Link? I'm not saying your wrong, but it would be nice to see them..
literally everyone else in the AAC not uconn and memphis dramatically outrecruits the rest of your league on average (yes this includes tulsa and tulane)
Frankly I don't really care about recruiting rankings. I'm more concerned with player development & wins. Who is the more successful conference in that regard? That's probably asking a lot, but it would be cool to see the avg. winning percentage as a whole conference. Maybe I'll sit down and calculate it out someday
