That's the cold hard truth of a G4er
no doubt...they come in here talking crap and every one of them would be thrilled to get an AAC invite.
We make more money, we have more fans in attendance (by a long shot), we have better tv exposure, we have more ranked teams...of course they would jump at an invite.
That's why is high comedy to see them on our board talking crap...smh
I don't know who's talking crap. I haven't seen anyone who's claimed the AAC isn't the best G5 conference, because it clearly is. The MWC is pretty good, but I still give the AAC the edge.
So yes, I would love for Tech to join the AAC. Just like you would love for your schools to join the Big XII/ACC/whoever. We all want to see our teams move up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Five_conferences
Excerpt: With the establishment of the College Football Playoff in 2014, the term "automatic qualifying conference" is no longer in use, as the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) has been discontinued. However, five of the six former AQ conferences are now known as the "Power Five conferences": the Big Ten Conference, the Big 12 Conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), the Pac-12 Conference, and the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The American Athletic Conference (AAC or "the American"), the football successor to the Big East Conference, lost its status as a major conference.
The AAC and the other four conferences in the FBS are known as the "Group of Five" (sometimes called the G5 or GO5). Besides the AAC, the other four members of the Group of Five are Conference USA (C-USA), the Mid-American Conference (MAC), the Mountain West Conference (MW), and the Sun Belt Conference.
So.......according to the above the AAC is STILL looked at as G5. Sorry boys but your delusional dream is just that. A dream.
Good Lord. Don't you hate it when G4 fans deface legit Wikipedia pages. You know they have to pay knowledgeable professionals to clean up faulty misleading edits on the College Football Playoff page.

There is no denying most of the G5 teams would like to be in the AAC from their current conference. But the FACT is.....even were they to get an invite and join they would STILL be in what the NCAA calls a G5 conference. No matter how much you AAC quacks want to think otherwise and call it a P6.

The Massey composite rankings say it all.
......unless it no longer supports your agenda or argument, then the Massey would be meaningless to you. Previously you cited the major polls as being authoritative, but the Houston lost a few, and Navy got exposed, so you change your tune.
This AAC forum has become the favorite spot for non-AAC people to come and watch, because it is a comedy club. You folks are delusional.
The Massey composite rankings say it all.
Also what rtaylor said.
So then do you all agree that WMU is BETTER than EVERY AAC team? The BEST G5 in the country? And by a long shot? That's what Massey says. Lets hear it boys......
We're not even discussing FCS schools. They have thier own championship.

Yes. I also believe your conference schedule is easy and that you wouldn't have finished undefeated in the American, but your team is having a special year. I just hope you guys aren't the reincarnation of the 2012 NIU team. You guys would definitely have been in our upper third and competed for the conference championship.
....so, in other words, you don't think the Massey is actually accurate. .....unless it fits the AAC agenda.
No I said you guys were better this year, just that you play in an easy conference. If you played in AAC you would inevitably have to play some tough road games so I don't think you would go undefeated. Think about like this. BSU imo was the best team in the MWC but they played Wyoming on the road and lost by 2 points. Therefore they didn't get the chance to play for their championship. Imo the MAC didn't have another noteworthy team. Do you disagree?
You guys don't have the best resume but you won out and thats hard to do. I also look at the margin of your victories and see a team that was clearly much better than the weak competition it played. As long as you guys play tough in the Cotton bowl than my perception of y'all isn't going to change. If y'all get smacked down then that would throw everything for a curve.
Ultimately I base my assessment of teams in what they do on the field but the composite rankings are nice to use as a reference.
The NFC East (a.k.a., the "NFC Least") has been considered the "easiest conference" in the NFL of late. Before that, we had the NFC Central ("the black and blue conference". Funny thing is, both of those conferences have won a great deal of national championships (a.k.a., the Super Bowl). Funny how that works, eh?

Did you inform San Diego of your massey rating before the bowl game?
The AAC is on top of the G5 yayyy. You still eat from the same table we do. Quit acting like your something special just because you have the double wide in the G5 trailer park.

The real question is how long will the B12 be able to hold on to that #6 spot in the P6 before we just cut it down to P5/G5? When do they lose the Power moniker? Their champ lost to the AAC #4 team and lost badly. We've got to stop subsidizing these hanger ons

Pretty sure the guy who is "BC#1" is bi-polar... He swings from hating the conference to suddenly being the biggest proponent of the conference.
I wouldn't say "embarrass" but this is so wildly out step with reality that I just shake my head.

Not all of us. Well most of the mwc said no thanks and bsu and sdsu actually backed out because of loss of power status and tv $ but I'm sure cusa, Mac, and sun belt teams would love to join up.
