American Athletic: $18.8m / 12 = $1.56m per

AVG Ranking:
Mountain West 78.167
American Athletic 80.139
Sunbelt 83.083
CUSA - 91.262
MAC - 92.986

Having 14 members is crushing CUSA.

So...what you are saying is that we were far closer to the AAC in the rankings than we were to CUSA?

Hmmm.

Mountain West we coming for you next year.

In order to catch the MWC every Sun belt team must go no worse than 2-2 in OOC play. I’m not sure how everyone's OOC schedule lines up, but the Cajuns can go 3-1 in OOC.

We have Grambling, Florida State, Iowa State, and Memphis so 2-2 is possible but 1-3 seems more likely.

Yeah but seminowl said on the cusa board that we were only ranked higher because the sbc all play 2 fcs games a year

App has ETSU, Charlotte, North Carolina, and South Carolina. 2-2 would be a letdown. 3-1 is quite possible. 4-0 unlikely.

WOW! We need to stop doing that!!!

Maybe we just should stop playing Concord to boost our schedule. Guess they are that 2nd FCS that CUSA is talking about. I mean it’s nog like we won’t play other teams. Southern Miss was on the schedule but well ...

The CUSA champ just avoided our conference champ to play a near .500 MAC team in the Cheribundy Cherry Ice Cream Mccloud Bowl....

'round and 'round we go.

The Boca Bowl was always going to be CUSA champ vs MAC champ. Too bad a near .500 MAC team had to win the conference.

I hope you know more about your day job than CFB, these claims are getting ridiculous.

If this always occurs, why did App play 11-2 MAC champ Toledo in Mobile last year? We caved their heads in 34-0 just for your awareness.

If 2-2 is a letdown, I'm assuming 3-1 is expected?

Personally, I would find 2-2 a slight let down.

Like Seminowl said, we're just padding our wins with the 2 FCS games, we need a victory against one (or both) of the P5s

We won't know how 'disappointing' 2-2 may be until the end of the season when we find out how good both Carolinas (or us for that matter) will be.

Too bad Fedora still isn't there. The Brown hire has really energized the Heel's fan base, attendance will be up for them. Bateman is a great defensive coach, but talent is lacking there. They have the athletes, just a QB away from being an explosive offense. That game will depend on which team has adjusted to the coaching change quicker. Should be similar to the WF game last year, as in close.

USCeast past 5 recruiting classes have all been top 25. obviously the SEC school has more talent then App does. The question will be are they still in the division hunt by November or they out of it already? Lack of Mo will do us wonders as well as the cooler weather by November.

If everything falls into place, 4-0 is very possible. However, with this year being transition, I wouldn't be surprised to see 2-2.

UNCC is basically a mediocre FCS, he might have a point after all.

MAC's Bowl Contract doesn't actually work that way, but hey, lets pretend it does to fit our narrative!

East Carolina is probably the equivalent of playing an FCS right now...

Don't know about the other "we" members, but South only plays one FCS team a year.

Your link is for the 2018 season.

And today on CUSAbbs, Middle Tennessee fan asks App fans a legitimate question, sparks a 5 page pissing match between Marshall and Charlotte fans and no App fans have commented for 2 pages. Those clowns (specifically Charlotte fans) can't get out of their own way. Last time I checked endowment, market size, tuition, acreage around your stadium and academic programs never won a football game.

Cheers Blue Raider Dave.
