Agreed - that IS a low preseason.
I mean given that AAC finished last season with an average ranking 25 spots higher than CUSA.

Skewed by outliers, UCF and Rice UTEP and Charlotte.

Keep the ratings though, CUSA will just keep kicking AAC arse in bowl games

Not just 1 ass whipping my friend, Navy, South Florida, Memphis, UConn. CUSA is 5-0 vs AAC in bowl games since league change in 2014

How about the regular season?
Where the AAC's fourth ranked team went on the road to beat the CUSA champ by three scores? Or the AAC's seventh ranked team skull-dragged the CUSA runner up hanging half a hundred on 'em.
But you want to base your self-esteem on beating that seventh ranked team when they had lost their coaching staff - not the head coach the staff to an extent that the new HC was on the sidelines (a rarity in these situations) without knowing the vocabulary of the offense and a grad assistant was calling the plays. Or the year prior we did have a nice #2 vs #2 matchup...except that the AAC #2 was missing half its starters including QB and captains on both sides of the ball....
Whatever makes you feel better little guy.
Your board, I don't want to be an ugly guest, I'm out.

Don’t be a keyboard warrior Navy. You’re better than that.

If you want respect, the AAC best teams have got to win bowls games. The AAC teams can’t even beat other G5 bowl teams. Thus no respect in top 25 preseason

???
What part?
I came with facts about end of season rankings, conference average, #1 v #1 etc, #2 v #1 etc to take away the AAC "outlier" , and facts about regular season results.
I added context to two of the bowl results.
And I meant it that I don't intend to come to your board and spread discontent. I am conscious of representing my school and my service, even in message board banter. You'll note that my initial was a response to a fan of an AAC school saying something...misguided.
I don't have the inclination to crowd your board with more if my responses.
You and I have discussed the '16 Armed Forces Bowl before: I have continued to say good game, congratulations, it became a who-has-the-ball-last game and LaTech executed when it counted...but Navy missing half the starters including QB and the captains on both sides of the ball means it is not a convincing case study for your argument that "we're all the same - look at this result."
So where was I a keyboard warrior ?
