I surmise the AAC will drop below the SBC in objective metrics soon.

The incomplete Massey Composite (only 15 sources to date) lists the SBC and MWC ahead of the AAC.

Once conference play starts, it will be difficult to alter the ranking order.

That sounds about right

Yup, seems accurate

2-4 vs other G5 (including Army as a G-level independent) this weekend, including Thursday. Bad.

Just last year, 2022, we lost 4 games vs other G5 and G-level indies *all regular season long*.

We're now not anything other than a mediocre G5.

1. You omitted Navy at Memphis on Thursday. That counts like everything else, even as a league game.

2. You stole my thread title.

1. The intent was to highlight OOC games.

2. Guilty as charged.

Man, really tired of carrying this league lol

And HERE are the AAC OOC games coming up next weekend:
SMU at TCU 12:00pm FS1
Tulsa at NIU 12:00pm CBSSN
Florida Atlantic at Illinois 3:30pm BTN
Miami (FL) at Temple 3:30pm ESPN2
UTSA at Tennessee 4:00pm SECN
Gardner-Webb at East Carolina 6:00pm ESPN+
Charlotte at Florida 7:00pm SECN+/ESPN
Nicholls at Tulane 7:00pm ESPN+
Memphis vs Missouri (in St. Louis, MO) 7:30pm ESPNU
UAB at Georgia 7:30pm ESPN2

.

Pivotal games for the AAC Saturday:
SMU @ TCU - defense looking good, run game needs a boost.
Memphis v. Mizzou - that Navy game has me concerned about Memphis.
UTSA and Charlotte upsets wouldn't hurt either.

Bring home the wins, boys.

AAC needs a big upset somewhere. I suspect that all the P5 games will see us as underdogs. A Memphis win would be big for the conference. FAU could win over a mediocre Illinois, if FAU shows up. SMU could upset TCU, I suppose. I can only hope that Temple wins, but holding the score within 10 points is probably a more feasible goal.

I agree. I think with Missouri's win over Kansas State, a Memphis win over Missouri would be a kind of "signature win" for the AAC.

As of right now, the AAC is 1-13 vs P5, the only win being Rice's 2x OT win over Houston, a team which is "P5" IMO in name only. The nB12 took a G5 hog and put P-lipstick on it, LOL.

clt says utsa mbb is hurting our fb bigly

Our defense showed up in every game thus far. Even against Clemson. Offense is another story. A top RB is out, a top QB got hurt against Clemson and was knocked out of the game with a knee injury, one of our top 2 WRs is out since being knocked out on the first play of the Ohio game. We need a lot of guys on offense to step up in a major way.

How did we fare? Poorly. Very poorly.

Because UTSA isn't any good either? They lost to Army.

I'm noticing a theme. ECU and most of this league sucks. Sad thing is that an inferior coaching staff could get bowl eligible in this crap league and we get stuck with them. Basically fool's gold doing just enough to not get fired.

With this offense ECU is not going anywhere. We are staring straight down the barrel of an 0-12 season.

Are you talking about the Memphis coach?
