All we heard all year long from the G4 was that the American would eventually cannibalize itself, but what many outsiders failed to realize is that the committee didn't see the losses in conference as poorly as some thought they would. The league's exposure, OOC performance, and conference strength has turned what most thought would be a bad G5 loss into a quality American loss. I expect this sentiment to only grow in the future.

Thoughts?

Lol G4

Does that make you all independents? Cuz you guys aren't P5 or P6 or whatever you daydream about

You're part of the G5 like the rest of us. Maybe after playoff expansion they will reevaluate the AAC as a power conference with an auto bid but until then this G4 thing is just kinda delusional to hear. Hilarious, but delusional...

Kruciff, are you saying the AAC is better than what the pundits projected? I'd agree and think next year will be even better and with more parity.

See that i can get behind. I'll admit the AAC is head and shoulders above the rest of the G5 conferences but you can't pretend to have an auto bid haha. Tweener conference yes, but still G5

I agree that the committee has generally done a good job at rewarding teams based upon merit, rather than past performance and reputation. If that's true, then the sentiment about the American won't necessarily grow in the future. If the American has a bad year out of conference (like last year), then a league loss may look more like a bad G5 loss that particular season. We've had a great year, but if the committee does things as they appear to have this year, the American - and other conferences - will be starting over every year in their eyes. That said, I believe this conference has positioned itself to be the clear power among G5 conferences (as much as I hate that label) for the foreseeable future.

What games are you talking about specifically? No one cares about Kansas' loss vs Memphis or PSU to Temple, those teams don't matter anyway. This isnt the NCAA Tourney where we are looking at RPI.

kansas never mattered but psu still matters
to say psu doesn't matter is to say most teams in the big 10 didn't matter as they are a middling big 10 team
and we have like 9 p5 wins this year including a top 25 ole miss

I knew you come to your senses... I'm telling you, the Mac champion to the Miami Beach Bowl is a good thing for you guys. Best location to showcase your team for future AAC realignment.

The sign on cullen Blvd outside the stadium is advertising the ACC championship game next weekend in Houston.. so maybe all we have done is confused people into thinking we are the ACC since we have had as many ranked teams

If you do not think the AAC is on par with the P5 then you are either bitter or delusional, either way why are these G4 fans coming on our board and telling us how things are? I just don't get it.

Seeing as how boise was still ranked after 2 losses if i'm not mistaken, then that alone proves you wrong.

Oh boy a tulane fan coming to tell us all how to be elite! This shoud be good.

And it depends on what you mean by "on par with". Able to compete with and beat P5 on the field (outside of tulane and tulsa)? Sure. Able to stroll into a CFP spot by auto bid? Nope. Still G5 by all definitions besides your own. But like i said, whatever floats your boat. No other G5 teams or anybody from the P5 recognizes you as something other than G5.

Also lol@Tulane in general

Buddy, you came here. He's from here. You want to come here, you're going to have to listen to what people here want to say. If he went to YOUR board, then you can say stupid stuff like that.

Parity can be a double-edged sword.
