That might really work, because the AAC often has a team or two ranked in the top 25.

It always seemed reasonable that NBC would have been a logical candidate for this. They get 7 Notre Dame games a year, which would be so easy to pair with the AAC (and effectively lock up the Notre Dame "at" Navy game as part of this package), thus guaranteeing they'd have a "game of the week" every week.

I think CBS would work if they partnered with Turner like they do on the NCAA tournament. But to date, neither NBC nor CBS has shown any interest in spending money unless it's for a marquee property (Notre Dame, SEC).
