Lol yeah you match up soooo well:

Top 50 teams:
AAC 3 MWC 0
Only one team ranked higher than an AAC team not in the big 5, Army. BYU is the only other non big 5 ranked top 50.

Top 75 teams:
AAC 5 MWC 2
Boise st behind 3 AAC programs and Air Force behind 5 AAC teams.

Top 100 teams:
AAC 8 MWC 4
If UCF gets back on track they could climb the ladder pretty quick, big gap between these teams and the top 75.

Ranked:
AAC: 12/12 100%
MWC: 10/12 83.3%
AAC is A+ MWC is B-, going to start refering to you all as the B team.

I don't know about rankings but I do think the AAC is starting to lead the FBS in posters who reside under bridges.

Lol yeah you match up soooo well:

Top 50 teams:
AAC 3 MWC 0
Only one team ranked higher than an AAC team not in the big 5, Army. BYU is the only other non big 5 ranked top 50.

Top 75 teams:
AAC 5 MWC 2
Boise st behind 3 AAC programs and Air Force behind 5 AAC teams.

Top 100 teams:
AAC 8 MWC 4
If UCF gets back on track they could climb the ladder pretty quick, big gap between these teams and the top 75.

Ranked:
AAC: 12/12 100%
MWC: 10/12 83.3%
AAC is A+ MWC is B-, going to start refering to you all as the B team.

I don't know about rankings but I do think the AAC is starting to lead the FBS in posters who reside under bridges.

"TRaditional" New Year Bowl pffft. Try "Two-Time New Years Day Bowl." Doesn't sound as impressive, does it?

Quote:Way back in 1992 there were a grand total of 18 Bowl Games. The 10 minor ones were played prior to New Years Day and the Major ones were played on New Years Day. The Peach was one of those played on New Years Day.

So the Peach Bowl was minor in 1990-91, major in 1991-92, minor in 1992-93?

IF you're saying "it's a major bowl", you're saying it's comparable to the Rose Bowl. As in, a bowl that in any given year might have the national champion playing in it.

Do you remember the time the AP National Champion played in the Peach Bowl? No you don't, because it was a minor bowl. The Fiesta Bowl became a major bowl once they dropped big money on the table to host Miami vs PEnn State, No 1 vs No 2, in 1986-87. And then hosted the national champions again in 1989.

And when the Cotton Bowl lost the SWC champion as their anchor, they weren't going to be hosting a national champion anymore either and they stopped being a major bowl.

(And BYU and the Holiday Bowl were widely mocked and derided as "B Y Who?" Partially because, even WITH a national champion, it was a minor bowl. If BYU had managed to get out of the Holiday Bowl contract, or had attracted a better opponent than 6-5 Michigan, BYU's championship would have been more respected.

Major bowls are ones that commonly have "national title implications."

The Peach Bowl was a nice bowl, but it was never a major bowl until the CFP, when it's a semifinal every 3 years.

Non-football playing schools shouldn't comment on these things, just makes you look silly. Peach was played on New Years Day like all the major bowls at that time. Now go back to your little b-ball league board and tell each other how better than the ACC you are...

I thought they played in the peach bowl 07-coffee3

we did play in the 2007 Hawaii Bowl....



Johnson went HAW that day. For some reason BSU sucks in the Hawaii bowl. Yeah bet they have a losing record in that bowl. But 3-0 in Fiesta bowls COGS

(NY6, BCS, Bowl Coalition, traditional New Year's):

SMU (Rose, Cotton)
Navy (Rose, Cotton, Sugar, Orange)
Tulane (Rose, Sugar)
Houston (Cotton, Peach)
Temple (Sugar)
Cincinnati (Sugar, Orange)
Tulsa (Sugar, Orange)
UConn (Fiesta)
UCF (Fiesta)

Only four MWC teams have ever played in major bowl games:

Boise (Fiesta)
Hawaii (Sugar)
Air Force (Cotton, Sugar)
Wyoming (Sugar)


And with this years division front runners both not on this list, that number could soon change to 10 of 12 (83%)

The AAC is better than the MWC yes, but IMO the gap between the MWC and the rest is pretty big. CUSA, MAC, & SBC are 01-rivals

Solid point, ECU does own St Johns in football.

And Peach was played on New Years DAy--on ESPN. The major bowls were on OTA networks on New Years' Day. So the "major" Peach Bowl was not quite as major as the Citrus Bowl or the Hall of Fame Bowl.

And as well as owning you in football 04-cheers , last year we finished with a better basketball record too. Let that sink in....
