is this a calculated move by the AAC?

the two were scheduled to meet again in the AAC championship game. By eliminating Saturday's game, this assures that at most you have two 1-loss teams, instead of the possibility
of them splitting the two games and Cincy having 1 loss and Tulsa 2, opening the door for CCU to get the access bowl bid

i think a 1 loss AAC champion in Tulsa gets in over undefeated CCU.

Cancelling Saturday assures either Cincy is unbeaten and its a no brainer. or Tulsa is a 1 loss champ with that only loss being a close one @ a ranked Oklahoma State.

Either way - we're not part of the conversation unfortunately

It would be more exciting to have the chance to be colluded against and screwed over than another NC or two

Yes, I hope we are in Coastal or Liberty’s shoes someday soon. ESPN called the Coastal-BYU game the game of the season like we said on this thread. Amazing game. Can only imagine if all fans had been allowed.

The espn guys have not stopped talking about Coastal the last few days and have been talking about them for most of the season. Same with Liberty to a lesser degree. Now they are talking about Coastal on the top 25 playoff show. We can dream...

Can we also just pause for a moment and remember that we're talking about COASTAL... they didn't even have a football team in 2002 when our win over uva was turning 20 years old and when we were starting our rise to the 2004 national championship.
The nay-sayers like to talk about the P5 country club and the history of Alabama or Ohio State football dating back 100+ years. But let it sink in that I have underwear older than coastal's football team from a university that is almost 50 years younger than JMU with half the enrollment and less than half the endowment and someHOW they are being discussed.

I, for one, will be very interested to watch Coastal's enrollment data over the next 8-20 months (fall 21 and fall 22). For posterity, current enrollment is reported as 10,484 with 70% acceptance rate. "front porch to the university"......
