.....And thus, when you multiply by the square root of 17.3, then divide by .00435, it turns out the AAC actually had a great first day of bowl season, and is still a Power 6 conference. It's actually easier to understand when it is explained in iambic pentameter.

nope no one is saying the AAC is a P5 league nor did we have a good first day of bowl season.
But what some people refuse to see if that there is a gap in success between the AAC and the other G leagues and those results that I posted prove that.
Would you like me to compare them to the MAC?

AAC was 2-7 last year getting beat by G5 teams also. I think the only bowl game the AAC will surely win will be against P5 powerhouse Wake Forest. So much for your P5 theory
Come back and tell us whenever C-USA becomes relevant or produces a team that can win out of conference against quality opponents.

Sure Tech beat Alabama when they were SEC champs, number #5 in the AP, and in a BCS bowl. When is the last time Houston beat the SEC champ? ........
We all have a few past victories against good P5 schools, but matching up against our peers is most important, and the AAC is setting up to fail miserably again this bowl season

I never said the AAC was a P5, what I said and still stand on and most newscaster support is that the AAC is the best of the G5
Since its inception in 2013
Vs P5 league opponents
AAC 27-59. 31.4%
MAC 15-72, 17.2%
MWC 12-71, 14.5%
CUSA. 9-86, 9.5%
SBC. 4-55, 6.8%
Vs G5 league opponents
AAC. 33-18, 64.7%
MWC. 35-26, 57.4%
CUSA. 41-37, 52.6%
SBC. 28-38, 42.4%
MAC. 29-47, 38.2%
You might not like those numbers but those are facts , just as your bowl records which by the way are included in those numbers

Yeah Nice try, the best teams from the G5 conferences beat the best team from the AAC in bowl games
As you can see their is hardly any separation on the field between the AAC and MWC & CUSA
AAC vs G5 since 2013
5-6 vs MWC
11-8 vs CUSA two bowl games remaining

Your losses count brother, and you had plenty of them. The reality is that those "top" teams in college football (maybe other than Alabama) are not nearly as good as mainstream media would like everyone to think. There is tremendous parity in football, even between the P5 and G5 schools. That is not to say that those top teams are not better, or that on average the P5 schools aren't better than G5 schools, they are. But the difference is not nearly as great as conventional wisdom suggests. Louisville was exposed a couple times. Oklahoma is mortal too. Houstons wins were certainly quality, but to suggest that Houston be measured only by its wins and not by its losses, is silly. Houston is a team that could beat most teams on a good day, but lose to anyone too. You are who you are; the good and the bad. Fact is, SDSU is a good team, but far from a great team (who's schedule wasn't exactly strong), and they opened up a can on you.

You mad that a degree from Connecticut College carries more weight than a degree from Memphis? That certainly explains your hostility towards UCONN.

AAC struggles in bowl games, no one but schools that in horrible conferences like CUSA and Sun Belt care. Bowl games are about motivation. You think UCF cared that much about Ark State? I doubt it. Probably went through the motions like most of the AAC teams when they play the rest of G5. Teams in your conference have something to prove, I dont think AAC teams really care to be honest.
When you can explain why CUSA contract so bad then we can talk about why the AAC struggles in Bowl games against G5 teams.

But the difference is not nearly as great as conventional wisdom suggests. Louisville was exposed a couple times. Oklahoma is mortal too. Houstons wins were certainly quality, but to suggest that Houston be measured only by its wins and not by its losses, is silly. Houston is a team that could beat most teams on a good day, but lose to anyone too. You are who you are; the good and the bad. Fact is, SDSU is a good team, but far from a great team (who's schedule wasn't exactly strong), and they opened up a can on you.
blah blah blah you won the fricking MAAC...congrats. That and a nickel will get you a cup of coffee. Nobody gives a rats about your conference, this is why you play on Wednesday nights and at 2am on ESPN 10
True, many don't care about the MAC. I can admit that. But they don't care about the AAC either, and you aren't man enough to own that. Why? Because even your good teams poop themselves too often.

Sure Tech beat Alabama when they were SEC champs, number #5 in the AP, and in a BCS bowl. When is the last time Houston beat the SEC champ? ........
We all have a few past victories against good P5 schools, but matching up against our peers is most important, and the AAC is setting up to fail miserably again this bowl season
We beat OU who ran through the Big 12 and Louisville in the same year. You know you can't go there with us, so why bother? Congratulations on what you were able to do last century!
Your losses count brother, and you had plenty of them. The reality is that those "top" teams in college football (maybe other than Alabama) are not nearly as good as mainstream media would like everyone to think. There is tremendous parity in football, even between the P5 and G5 schools. That is not to say that those top teams are not better, or that on average the P5 schools aren't better than G5 schools, they are. But the difference is not nearly as great as conventional wisdom suggests. Louisville was exposed a couple times. Oklahoma is mortal too.

I've said this in another thread but worry about your own team.
Well, I really haven't had much to worry about with my team.

But what some people refuse to see if that there is a gap in success between the AAC and the other G leagues and those results that I posted prove that.
Would you like me to compare them to the MAC?
Why is CUSA contract so bad? I will tell you why. Because tv and sports world looks at teams like LA Tech and says no thanks. AAC struggles in bowl games, no one but schools that
AAC was 2-7 last year getting beat by G5 teams also. I think the only bowl game the AAC will surely win will be against P5 powerhouse Wake Forest. So much for your P5 theory
And what is my P5 theory?
I never said the AAC was a P5, what I said and still stand on and most newscaster support is that the AAC is the best of the G5
Since its inception in 2013
Vs P5 league opponents
AAC 27-59. 31.4%
MAC 15-72, 17.2%
MWC 12-71, 14.5%
CUSA. 9-86, 9.5%
SBC. 4-55, 6.8%
Vs G5 league opponents
AAC. 33-18, 64.7%
MWC. 35-26, 57.4%
CUSA. 41-37, 52.6%
SBC. 28-38, 42.4%
MAC. 29-47, 38.2%
You might not like those numbers but those are facts , just as your bowl records which by the way are included in those numbers
Yeah Nice try, the best teams from the G5 conferences beat the best team from the AAC in bowl games
As you can see their is hardly any separation on the field between the AAC and MWC & CUSA
AAC vs G5 since 2013
5-6 vs MWC
11-8 vs CUSA two bowl games remaining
Why is CUSA contract so bad? I will tell you why. Because tv and sports world looks at teams like LA Tech and says no thanks. AAC struggles in bowl games, no one but schools that in horrible conferences like CUSA and Sun Belt care. Bowl games are about motivation. You think UCF cared that much about Ark State? I doubt it. Probably went through the motions like most of the AAC teams when they play the rest of G5. Teams in your conference have something to prove, I dont think AAC teams really care to be honest.
When you can explain why CUSA contract so bad then we can talk about why the AAC struggles in Bowl games against G5 teams.
The AAC is getting beat by bad schools from "horrible conferences", and the reason is that the AAC P6 schools are so good that they don't care about unimportant things like their bowl games? I did not think that AAC schools had Walmart fans, but on the other hand, there is no way you went to college, is there?

Lets see, you lose ability to make cogent argument and resort to fight or flight primordial arguments,but i am the one who dod not go to college. Nothing wrong with Walmart by the way. Average customer enters Walmart with no credit card, no checking account and less than 10 dollars in pocket. Love them or hate them ,Walmart plays an important role in our economy. In fact Milton Friedman wpuld be proud of Walmart imo.

Well, I really haven't had much to worry about with my team.
Because you've played no one. Lmao Toledo was the best team you've beaten this year and they lost last night as well. Question if Wisconsin creams you, will you still be here to tell us about the enormous parity in college football? You guys are sitting pretty at 13-0 but a loss in the Cotton bowl would make those 13 look pretty insignificant.
