^ yep, we have some garbage fans...

Agreed on the bad fan. Congrats on the win.

Tubby should have put his son in a non assistant position. After that I don't have much criticism. If you were to give him more than the rest of this season I think you would start to see the light.

The middle 8 teams in the AAC are like an ugly game of Mario Kart. The moment you think a 3rd and 4th team is on the rise, they get blue shelled and then fall right back into the pack.

Fantastic analogy.

I actually think the conference divides into pretty clear levels.

WSU
Cincy

SMU
UH
UCF

Temple
Tulane

UConn
Memphis
Tulsa





USF+ECU

Basically teams will fight for positioning within their respective groupings but they won't finish ranked ahead or behind any teams from outside of their grouping. That's an entertaining image tho.

Gotta put SMU in the top tier. I know that Tulane beat them, but crap happens.

I'd say:

WSU

Cincinnati
SMU
Tulane
Houston
UCF
Temple

Memphis
Tulsa
UCONN

ECU
USF

While I view SMU as the 3rd best team in the league, and they'll likely finish with 12 or 13 wins, I can see the potential for them to stumble a little and finish as low as fifth. They've had some lackluster performances this year, and it just seems that the conference is strong enough this year that you have to bring your A game every-night (at least on the road).

Tulsa just beat Tulane on their home court. The Mario kart analogy is correct. To washy to have so many tiers.
