and i though posted how 125 computers disagreed with your statement..i can find that link again for you if youd like
125 different computers agreed with me...every human poll agrees with me...your tv deal agrees with me
instead of defending what is an outright opinion of everyone outside c-usa..look at the positives of my plan.. you put all the top teams from the sunbelt and c-usa together, nothing will change, some wins someone losses...
let the top team in c-usa, sunbelt and a western conference stay in their respective conferences win games and play each other at the end of the year. it will be a battle of heavyweights in the eyes of the media
imagine it for last year la tech, marshall, wku and usm playing in an end of the year multi-conference tournament championship or round robinn versus ga southern, app stat, ar skt, ND state, etc. if wku came out of that as the champion, they are easily a top 20 team, instead of not ranked in the coaches poll at 12-2
Imagine? No need for round robin tourney Tech dominated the undefeated Sunbelt Champs in NO bowl.
The only reason you be advocating this is because the AAC performs so horribly in bowl games including Marshall and WKU beating 2 AAC teams.
not sure what this has to do with the AAC..not sure how it would benefit the AAC, if anything it put the winner of the scheduling alliance in a better spot for the access
and you're proving my point with the "dominated the undefeated Sunbelt Champs in NO bowl"
la tech/ wku could have dominated more perceived good teams in the season and had a way better chance at impressing pollster and the committee in the season ..it would have also gotten more media coverage for branding your teams
Cmon man, lets get real real here. Beating the undefeated Sunbelt Champs or a 6-2 AAC team, doesnt improve a team's brand in the eyes of the pollster or committee. As far as media, no one cares if Tech beats Houston, ECU or Arkansas State G5. Now if Tech beats Arkansas or LSU that will get the media's attention
Only consecutively years of beating P5 teams earns their respect .... Boise State.
you are thinking giant unrealistic steps ..when my plan was to take realistic steps to improve c-usa's brand and push them in a positive direction
no one is c-usa is beating LSU, so talking about what beating lsu would do is meaningless
again it was more about a position of growth. you are one of the most blind c-usa loyalist ive met to date so you wont admit this but the AAC or MWC champ on the same record as the c-usa champ, c-usa isnt getting the access and it wont be close.
i agree that beating the sunblet champ/western champ wont get you much, it might be only one or 2 spots higher in the rankings as opposed to 8-9 from beating a team like lsu. but those 1 or 2 spots could be the difference in an access bowl spot
The committee insinuated Marshall never really had a shot at the access 2 years ago (that memphis would have jumped them if boise had lost)..and a 12-2 wku didnt crack the top 25 in the final coaches poll.
c-usa's concern shouldnt be making boise splashes (elite caliber) but to be getting the same kind of respectability the other G5 get
making a scheduling alliance allows c-usa top teams to drop a few of their fcs caliber c-usa games and pick up a g5 with top 25 votes, and despite what you might think it will make a difference. if anything just because it would mean less games where winning and blowing out a team meant nothing vs a really bad team in a lose/lose game
those games would have a great chance at national broadcast and would dramatically increase their chance at an access bowl (note one of the main stats used by the committee is wins vs teams with certain records)
and its like a snow ball effect; more exposure, more access bowls leads to better recruiting, branding and tv money/exposure..more money, better recruiting will leads to better teams; which again will lead to more money..its a cycle..you just have to find a way to get the ball rolling
and in basketball its all about rpi, not name brand, c-usa/sunbelt are a 1 bid leagues, mvc is regularly a 1 bid league but had 2 last year
getting the ncaa bubble teams in all those 3 leagues away from the majority rpi dead-weight and getting great rpi games (among themselves) before separating back into conference tournament (3 seperate auto-bids) DRAMATICALLY improves your chances at a tourney at-large
and its better than "improving" OOC as it would pin proven good teams together, without the preseason gamble of hoping they are good, or the hassle of trying to get them on the schedule
i know you think this is a plot because im an AAC fan but i genuinely think this is a good idea to explore for c-usa

Let's make it about numbers
