Playing in some tough conference games will not only generate interest but it will help the cream of the conference rise to the top. What about attendance at the Nip? We need some games against ranked conference opponents. It just seems "small time" IMO to purposefully schedule "avoidance."
The issue is definitely a two edged sword. Considering Cincy's tough conference schedule this year, could UC and UCF both lose a couple to quality AAC opponents and watch an undefeated MAC school in the access bowl? That doesn't seem like a positive development for the American.
This is yet another example of a system rigged against the G5. Unfortunately, what we're really discussing is trying to find a way to "game the system" so to speak.
Whos made the Access Bowl outside of the AAC? What would necessarily change? Hell, the AAC champ could go undefeated. UCF did just that.
2014: Boise State
2015: Houston
2016: Western Michigan
2017: UCF
2018: UCF
So we're at a 60% hit rate.
But the trend is moving to the American. Big news today is that it looks like Boise State vs Florida State will be played this weekend and moved to the home field of FSU instead of Jacksonville. Canceled games equals inside track for Boise. Loss eliminates them while a win puts them second behind UCF.
