RE: This year as it should be
Honestly, Im sure you are all real nice people, and the AAC has had several solid teams this season, but it is entertaining seeing just how much wind you all blow up your own rears in terms of how great your conference is. Didn't the AAC go like 2-6 in bowls last year? Your "incredible" teams lost games they probably shouldn't have, and perhaps it was because this false arrogance is contagious, and the players caught it too, leaving them under-prepared for games they took for granted.

You are a G5 conference. This is a fact. The good news is that being a G5 isn't so much a bad thing, and that the P5 schools, with very few exceptions, are not much better, and in most cases not better at all, than G5 schools in terms of football or otherwise. The "bad" news, if you consider things that way, is that the top teams in your league truly are not better than the top teams in the other G5 conferences. No need to jump out of a window in a tall building though.

This G5 conference champ thing to get the Access slot needs to be changed.

03-lmfao WMU had a good season congrats. But you are being naive if you truly think that al the G5 are equal. It's not only those on this board but now even those in ESPN, etc noticing it and quoting it in every telecast.
That gap will increase each year.

I could see the bowls asking for the same conditions as playoffs, the highest rated G5 regardless of champions.

I wish they would expand the playoff and one slot for the highest G5

This is what I mean. Let's just say UH won out after the Navy loss. UH could have been ranked above WKU and not have been in a access bowl. The Access bowl requires the highest ranked G5 champion.

Even still had Navy not tanked against Temple they would've gotten the Cotton Bowl.

I just wish every year we'll get a change to see an American club participate in the big time bowls. Only silver lining we can hope for.
