At this point, the Tigers have shown it’s possible to make a New Years bowl out of the AAC w/o a grueling (P5 heavy) OOC slate.
I think you all are going towards a 2 p5 game 2 g5 game schedule. I wouldn't be surprised to see you playing those sort of teams as your g5 opponents. I expect you will continue to try and get those sec teams as much as possible, but be more selective with your other p5 games.
Arkansas St is not a bad get for an OOC opponent. The top of the Sun Belt (Arkansas St, Troy, Appalachian St, UL Lafayette, Georgia Southern, and others a season every so often) are good programs. Take those 5 and add North Texas, Louisiana Tech, Southern Miss, UAB, Marshall, Florida Atlantic, and Old Dominion and you have a much better conference.
