Pretty much. MAC seems to fit NIU well.
You're missing the point... the MAC is no challenge for NIU anymore. A football team isn't supposed to just dominate their division year in and year out, it's supposed to fluctuate regularly. It doesn't in the MAC, it's always NIU running straight through it. I mean, a 91% win rate in conference? That's absurd, that means a program playing WELL above the expectations and norm for the conference. I get that you think because you're in a former autonomous conference that that means something elite, but it doesn't. Is the AAC an amazing league? Not by a long shot, hell i don't even think it's the best G5 conference (although it is close with MWC). That being said, is it better than the MAC? Hell yeah it is, and if you're to blind or entitled or stubborn to see what NIU football and their market (chicago being the 3rd largest media market) could do for the AAC, then I'll just acknowledge that as you admitting your flawed thought processes and chalk it up as a lost cause (basically like any Marshall fan... don't be like Marshall fans)
Its not flawed thinking. If niu is too good for the mac, move up to cusa and see how you do there. Id say you conference winnging percentage would slide to the mid 70's rather quickly. Speaking of, it's your flawed thinking to assume niu will always have a 91% win rate in the mac. A few good years does not define a program, especially playing competition like niu does.
A few good years? NIU has been at the top of the MAC consistantly since 2002 outside of one bad season in 2007. They are 113-56 since 2002 and if don't include 2007 they are 111-46. I'd say that is good stretch run much longer than a "few good years."
Over that same stretch since 2002, ECU has gone 82-82...

And niu went 36-76 the 10 years prior to 2002.
ECU went 82-82 including 2 horrendous seasons and against much tougher competition.
Im not trashing niu here. If your school can afford to move up to cusa go right ahead, the mac results certainly justify the move.

Its like that BCS win never happened. We need to get it done this year in OOC play before this perception gets too entrenched.
You are just getting all of that? Better late than never.
Reason I thought Aresco should have given Boise what they wanted. Was a huge mistake and has cost each school in the AAC a lot of $$ and forced us to bring in some programs we should never have brought in.

Then be happy where you are because I seriously doubt niu gets a call until the next major shift in conferences. Too little support, too little market penetration, too highly subsidized to be attractive to anybody but cusa at the moment

You can't honestly sit here and say with a straight face NIU's football program isn't too good for the MAC and deserving of a better home
Fo you really want to move into a spread out CUSA? Marshall struggled for how many years?
Have you SEEN the MAC?
What would 10 years of 6-6 to 8-4 records do to NIU support? Can you handle the expense of extra travel?
They only averaged 13k/game last year, and we all know the game with tickets sold to actual butts in seats. How much further could the attendance actually drop? lol

Each OL taking over have played many snaps over the past 1-2 years. If you followed NIU you would know that they use 2-3 RB's plus the QB for running, so losing our starting RB from last year is not a big deal. We also lost our top WR but if you noticed, our actual #1 was injured all last year and NIU probably has their deepest, most talented WR corps I have ever seen. They will be better than last year, especially with our starting QB having a year under his belt and the defense returning 8 starters from a year ago.

Teams in CUSA that would have definitely beaten NIU last year. La Tech, WKU, Rice, and obviously Marshall. We all saw how that one turned out
BTW, please stop trying to claim Chicago. You guys don't even carry your own campus. You averaged 13,000 fans game last year.
There is no arguing that G5 conferences go
MWC/AAC
CUSA
MAC/Sun Belt
Take your homer glasses off and realize the MAC is closer to the Sun Belt than it is to CUSA.

Is that why NIU is consistently rated as one of the top 5 g5 schools and none of those CUSA teams are ever there?
Also, stop with the stupid attendance argument because you sound like a butthurt Cubs fan. NIU has averaged essentially over 20k every season for 10+ years. You play midweek November games in the blistering cold and see how your team's attendance drops.
There is a reason no tv channel wants the CUSA and why their games have the worst ratings.
And yes, NIU lost to Marshall last year with their worst team in 5 years but they still won 11 games so that says alot right there. They will be even better this season with essentially everyone coming back.

Boise State is the hands down favorite for the Access Bowl
After Boise it's Cinci, NIU, LA Tech, and WKU in that order
NIU is has a 91% winning rate in MAC conference games over the past 5 years.
Myerberg thinks Boise could make the playoff; he brings up the question, because he is not sure, if a G5 team makes the playoff do they still retain their Access Bowl slot? The host of the show says, no the G5 are only alotted one High Level bowl and the Access Slot would probably then be an at large P5 selection. Considering that every P5 team retains the rights to their Access Bowl (think Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl when Florida State went to the Playoff), Myerberg states he doesn't think it is fair that one P5 conference is more important than the entire G5 conferences combined, especially considering Boise could very well be in the playoff picture.
Boise will not be challenged by anyone on their schedule, except maybe BYU, and whomever they play in the MWCCG, who he expects to be either SDSU or Fresno.
Is incredulous that a potentially 13-0 Boise would be left out of the playoff
What's the effect if a G5 team in Boise gets the playoff spot, snubbing a Pac-12 team and a Big 12 (for the second year in a row)? Myerberg thinks an 8 team playoff would be implemented as early as 2017.
Conversation moves to LA Tech. Asks question if they beat Miss State and K State, can they get into the playoff picture. Myerberg doesn't believe they will beat Marshall or WKU anyhow so the point is moot even if they manage to sweep Miss State and K State (which they wont)
- Myerberg then makes the point how a Wisconsin can get blown out to Ohio State and go 10-3 or w/e and still have a great great year, but if a G5 team goes 10-3 they are judged by their ability to get to the pinnacle of bowls, which at most only 1 team will ever get per year.
- Is the Sun Belt getting better? Yes, they are, but they are still 5 of 5 in the G5.
More depth in the Sun Belt than there ever has been even though the bottom is absolutely dreadful. ULALA, App State, GaSouthern, and Arkansas State are favorites to go 7-1 or 8-0 in conference.
- Comedic point: How exactly does one travel from Wyoming to App State for their October game? Like, logistically?
Group of 5 vs. Power 5 interesting matchups: Utah State @ Utah, Michigan State @ Western Michigan, WKU @ LSU, @ Vanderbilt, or @ Indiana (cannot lose to more than one in this slate for any respectability)
- It's weird to think of the American as G5, Myerberg. Myerberg actually asks if they should be talking about the American in this podcast, simply because of all the programs that used to be P6. Interesting Matchups for the American: Penn State @ Temple - Temple is a very good football team with high expectations. A temple win would be shattering for Penn State;
Then ECU @ Florida.
- Boise Boise Boise Blah Blah Blah
- Every single G5 league is getting better and better since the (perceived) split. It hasn't been the death knell many have foreseen.
MWC is the best of the 5 -.-
- American is in the best position to make that access bowl an autobid. In a position to take advantage of a vacuum. Change is coming, 4 spots in the playoff will not be there for long. Have to be in the position to grab the opportunity to lead the charge.
- Mentions Navy, American should feel very optimistic.
- Mentions of Morris, Montgomery, and Herman. Those three names alone bring their clout to the conference. These coaches could make BIG leaps immediately. UConn and USF are dragging the conference down. In Myerberg's words "offsetting the hype", "next to worthless"
Aaaaaand the Big 12 talk. (very brief thankfully)
- USA taking the most advantage of UAB's demise
Thinks FCS should start playing in January
- Keenan Reynolds could make serious noise for Heisman.
Matt Rhule, Justin Fuente, Herman (even in the first year), highest threats to make coaching moves due to success. Doc Holliday is probably not a P5 head coach candidate, due to recruiting styles. Mentions that USF might consider Holliday when the CWT experiment fails, but not sure if one leaves Marshall for USF.
Favorites in the American: Cincinnati. Needs a team to step forward and establish dominance.

I stopped reading at the mentions of the coaches tbh. I combined two different ideas into one quote. Simple mistake

ECU lost to Florida by 7 and were 10 yards from tying it up with seconds left...pretty uninteresting

RE: USAtoday: paul myberg does podcast on g5
All this reminds me is how badly injuries contributed to NIU messing the bed this year
And no I'm not solely blaming injuries. We choked a few games away in our own rights
