Except for the lower-level MAC teams that keep beating your team...

The MAC had 7 bowl-eligible teams in 2013, the AAC only had 4. And UCant still couldn't get to .500 in conference...

We are recovering from the Pasqualoni era (just like Louisville had to recover from the Kragthorpe era). We will be just fine with Bob Diaco this year.

Anyway, it is comical that Ohio fans are talking about football like they are Ohio State. Dude, Ohio barely cracked .500 in the MAC!!!

"Cracking .500 is a feat you whipped puppies haven't accomplished in years, not to mention losing twice to WMU who was at the bottom of the MAC West when they beat yours

The A10 is better, has more teams ranked in the top 64 (RPI) 6 vs 5 and a lower conference RPI (88 vs 105) A10 is clearly better than the AAC

Are you a complete idiot?
You act as if the season is over.
Just wait till the end of the season.

After monday the A10 will have one single ranked team and we have 4 and possibly 5 soon.

real cute.

No I'm presenting facts and you are countering with your sour grapes. Facts matter.

UCF, Louisville (ACC), Cincy, Houston, Rutgers (B10)

Which of these things is not like the others

We're replacing them

Which of these things is not like the others hehehe funny.

UCF, ECU, Cincy, Houston, Tulane.
All made bowls.
Tulane and Tulsa will alternate.

The jokes on you still.
Oh and ECU beat Ohio in their bowl.

funny.

Congratulations ECU needed a monster comeback in the 4th to beat the 4th best team in the MAC East..

The MAC still pulled an 0-fer in bowl wins. That is why I am amazed that people here are mocking the AAC.

Because you keep losing to us in the regular season and think your the best of the G5 conferences.

You sound like a freaking Cub fan, newsflash kitty, the NCAA doesn't give out championship trophies in any sport or award postseason playoff bids(except football) based on attendance.

AAC fans, you guys are letting jokes represent you here, please retrieve them, the MAC is stable and knows their place, what pisses them off is your few that troll on over here and need to assert their dominance because they got the cream of the crop of the G5. It's sad, that's like me coming over and ranting how my childhood favorite in Sparty and the Big Ten are so much better, I don't, I have the decency and respect for people on this board and stay away from possible flame fights because of my fan status with the Big Ten vs MAC. Stay mature please, if 18 year old me can, so can you.

UConn has played a team from the MAC 32 times since the 1999-2000 season. UConn has posted a 23-9 record against the MAC.... but we wouldn't want to let that inconvenient fact get in the way now, would we?

Just stop, go home, and leave the MAC fans alone.

Was I dreaming, but didn't five different MAC teams defeat four different AAC teams in football within just the past TWO years?

WESTERN MICHIGAN over Connecticut
BUFFALO over Connecticut
TOLEDO over Cincinnati
BALL ST over South Florida
KENT ST over Rutgers

This past season Toledo knocked off Navy and BG destroyed Tulsa. Both are future AAC members (Tulsa-2014 Navy-2015).
Toledo presently has a 3 game winning streak against Cincinnati in football.

I like Toledo's program. One of Toledo, NIU, Bowling Green, or Ball State steps up at any given point in time to strengthen the MAC at the top.

By the way, I was trying to forget that the AAC picked up Tulsa. I would have preferred almost any MAC team over Tulsa. They just don't move the needle.

2) There was TONS of options from other FBS conferences, but being the MAC you guys couldn't get them. So y'all had to go as low as an FCS team.
3) Y'all haven't won in realignment*. Nobody wants your teams, and nobody wants to join them period.
4) God yes UMass would leave in a heart beat, who wouldn't? I doubt that will ever happen though..

First things first:
Boise and SDSU bailed even before they got there, so they don't count because they were basing everything on the Big East staying together.

Second:
The MAC wasn't going to just take anyone just to have them. Like myself and others explained that to you.

As much as I like the AAC, how can your fans say(and yes I saw this in one of the threads) "How about Old Dominion as an add?"

Really, Old Dominion?

THAT is grasping for straws!

Third:
There are always takers, you know that

Forth:
If Villanova wanted to move up to FBS, the AAC would do it and you know it!(and don't give me the Temple blocking crap)

Fifth:
UMass will have to make a decision soon. You want them right now, take them right now, but for Football only and nothing else(I take back my comment about all sports to the AAC). See how you like it.

I tell you what, you want teams? Liberty is looking for a home. Maybe Jacksonville State want to make the jump. You might be also looking at Morgan State? Gives you a huge market(Baltimore). I know, I know: Idaho might be deep-sixed out of the SunBelt and need a place to go!

There is some Ideas for the American!

Please AAC, take Liberty, so the Sunbelt doesn't have to deal with them again.
