RE: Dont let 10 bowl teams fool you
I don't think anybody (even CUSA fans) will argue the MAC is and will continue to be a better conference than CUSA. The Mountain West is the conference to compare the MAC to. MAC and MWC have been neck and neck the past few years and are the stalking horse behind the AAC.

This is the Internet, so I can GAR-run-TEE you (as they would say down in Knoxville) that there are some CUSA fans somewhere who will argue up and down that CUSA is better than the MAC.

UB beat FAU, so that shuts down quite a few of their arguments...

I don't think you'll find any CUSA fans that agree with this.
AAC > MWC > CUSA> MAC/Sun Belt

CUSA used to be better, the last few years it's close but MAC would have the edge based on Sagarin ratings.

Our 6 bowl teams are ranked 81 or higher... You have 6/7 bowl teams ranked below THREE 5 win MAC teams.

CUSA is 4-3 against the MAC. UB knows they wouldn’t get a win if we weren’t experimenting on offense. CUSA recruits have a higher avg rating than the MAC. Yes we have a few new schools struggling with coaching, but I would still rather be in the conference with Charlotte than any MAC school. I don’t understand why the success of CUSA would get you so salty. Enjoy the MAC and don’t get your panties in a bunch because another conference has more bowl teams than you. Keep the MACtion going on the field and off the keyboards.

Yup there are always ifs but there is also the fallacy that because we lost to UB and you beat UB then you can beat us. By that measure Pitt should come in and knock the snot out of Toledo since UM ate them up like a cupcake earlier this year. Let the facts speak. CUSA 4-3 vs the MAC if you don’t like it, do something about it next year!

But what made up those 4 wins and 3 losses? 6-6 WKU over 2-10 Ball State, 5-6 MTSU over 2-10 BG, and 7-4 Marshall over 5-7 Miami and 2-10 Kent State. The three losses were 6-6 Buffalo against 8-3 FAU, 2-10 Ball State over 7-4 UAB, and 5-7 EMU over 1-10 Charlotte. The team with the superior record won five of seven matchups, not too surprising, but it doesn't tell me a ton about how you stack up since we didn't see any matchups involving the best of the MAC. Those two upsets however were both by us, with your East champ losing to UB and the potential West co-champ losing to a putrid BSU program. And speaking of the Blazers, it doesn't speak well of your conference when a team that's basically had a two-year death penalty comes in and immediately competes for a division title.

RE: Dont let 10 bowl teams fool you
Massey composite rankings coming into the week... Mean (average) median (middle team)
AAC: mean 67.16 median 60 SMU
MAC: mean 82.91 median 84 Akron
MWC: mean 83.41median 77 Utah State
CUSA: mean 93.21 median 92 UAB
SBC: mean 100.2 median 104 ULM
To be clear... The only teams from Cusa i would even consider wanting to play are Marshall because of the history...and FAU because FOR SOME REASON people think they have a legit team??? And we would kill them on national TV and break the top25.

Thas nice, you let them beat you by 22 after being so close. Glass half empty or glass half full? Am I checking the box score for some impressively close game or am I checking for the 4th qtr pounding they put on you? The game actually wasn’t close after the 2nd half lol.
