Great post. I will be checking this thread out. Interesting data.

Other than bragging rights among a few fans that care, I have to wonder if this results in any significant TV money to those bragging?

I think having home games against P5 opponents will help the next TV contract more than wins against the bottom 1/2 of the P5.

Ratings result in significant TV money.

If P5 wins drive ratings, then it matters.

From the 2015 season (when Navy joined and the American broke into divisions) until today, the AAC has 30 wins vs. P5.

Next highest is the MAC with 13 wins. MWC with 11.

In fact, the other four leagues combined have 31 wins over the period.

Week 3 would be interesting when ABC will show Boise State at Oklahoma State.The Cow Pokes are not even the bottom tier P5.

Week three possible wins.

UCF @ UNC
Troy @ Nebraska
Ball State @ Indiana
Miami, Flo. @ Toledo
UC-Davis @ Stanford I say push.
Boise State @ Oklahoma State
BYU @ Wisconsin
Arizona State @ San Diego State
Fresno State @ UCLA
Southern Utah @ Arizona

There are others, but they are more unlikely to win.

So now just posting objective data is bragging? Wow!! By that asinine rationale I guess the AP top 25 is "bragging " also,,,,, GEEZZZ LOLOL.

So UC-DAVIS and SOUTHERN UTAH have a better chance in your opinion to beat STANFORD and ARIZONA than USF vs Illinois or Houston vs Texas Tech. Wow ok. You know the more you g4 fans troll and hate the AAC the more pathetic and obviously jealous it becomes to everyone else.

You forgot USF @ Illinois. USF is favored to win by more than a TD.

Lovie’s homecoming to Soldier Field could be a bloodbath.

30 wins out of how many games?
Same question for other teams?
You need % to make a better comparison.

MW has 6 games against P5, chance of up to 5 wins.
ASU @ SD state
Boise@ Okie State
Oregon State @ Nevada
Fresno @ UCLA
SJSU @ Oregon
CSU @ Florida

Realistic chance with Boise, Nevada, Fresno and San Diego State
Long shot CSU
No way in Hell San Jose

UF is no that good. A realistic chance as far as I am concerned.

Agree about Florida, but CSU is not good either. They somehow beat Arkansas after 2 blow out losses to CU and Hawaii.

During that time, the AAC's record against P5 teams is 30-45 (40%).

What a contrast between the top of the AAC and the bottom. So, by the powers vested in me by (well, no one) I hereby declare the AAC to be one of the P5 1/2 and also one of the G5 1/2. Ya gotta like the symmetry in that.

Well you can't get to 6 until you pass 5 1/2. The p6 is where we're headed not where we are at yet. I don't understand why some people don't understand that or are insecure about it to the point of real hate.

i dont think the hate is as strong as you suggest. sure some do, but others only point out that the p5 will not allow an entire conference to join their ranks. just like the list above shows a clear gap within the conference, the p5 will just cherry pick the top teams they want, and leave the rest. but imo you are free to chase your p6 goals to your hearts content.

Actually the p5 itself doesn't decide anything. You have some p5 conferences that are only p5 because the real powerbrokers decided that they wanted them to be. The actual deciders are the networks and the major bowls because they control the money. The old big east is a good example of that. When ESPN decided to that they no longer needed them they destroyed them. If you remember at the start of the CFP the AAC or any other conference would have been allowed to join the power ranks if they could secure a contract bowl. Guess what was needed for that,, hint a network willing to put money on up for that to happen. As I've said p6 is a goal to reach for,,,heck every g5 should be reaching for. Whether any make it or not, who knows but if you're not aiming for it then what's the point , but that's the American way.

Aresco's P6 campaign is harmless, it's also ineffectual, can never amount to anything, because history shows that conferences don't get promoted to "power" status, only schools do.

That was demonstrated yet again two years ago when the Big 12 said they were considering expansion: Every single G5 school, your Memphis and my USF included, went hat in hand to Big 12 headquarters begging to be invited to the Big 12, we were all ready to ditch the AAC in a nanosecond.

That's what every G5 school should be doing - constantly striving to build its brand so that a A5 conference will want you to join. I sure hope USF is doing that, round the clock.
