conference's opening week: 4-7, overall disappointing results
Central Florida came from behind and beat Boise State in Orlando, 36-31 Thur. night. A good result in the new coach's first game, but not the completely one-sided victory that the AAC could brag about.

East Carolina lost to Appalachian State in a neutral site game in Charlotte, 16-33. Sure, App St. is good, but you hate to see a long time "higher level" program lose like that to one that has only been D1 for a couple of years, and AAC losing to SunBelt.

Tulsa lost to UC-Davis in Tulsa, 17-19. Extremely disappointing, not what we wanted to see.

South Florida got walked over by NC State in Raleigh, 45-0. Horrible result it would seem, unless NC St. goes on to sweep the ACC, which they won't.

Tulane held its own against the preseason rated #2 Oklahoma, losing 40-35 in a game relocated to OK because of the hurricane. Did Tulane show they would be a force to be reckoned with in the Big12 after OU & Tex leave? The Leftover8 would like to only lose by 5 in Norman.

Temple was destroyed by State University of New Jersey at Rutgers, in Rutgers, 14-61. Way too lopsided of a loss for the AAC to a bottom-dweller BigTen. Maybe they won't end up bottom-dwellers this year, but still.

Cincinnati walked over Miami(OH) 49-14, at home. As expected.

Navy was torpedoed by Marshall 7-49 in Annapolis. C-USA stinging AAC again.

Houston coog'd it and gave up a 21-7 lead to lose to TX Tech 21-38. Did they show they don't belong in the Big12, at least at the current state of their program?

Southern Methodist performed unholy domination in a religious war against Abilene Christian, 56-7.

We didn't dominate as completely as we would have liked, kicking 5 FGs, but handled Nicholls State 42-17, at home, with a true freshman QB, and gaining 355 yds in the first half to lead 29-7.

IKE's sure glad we played a CUPCAKE instead of Oklahoma, N.C.state, Rutgers, T.Tech or Boise

I don’t mind an opening day cupcake. But make it a C-USA, MAC, or decent Sunbelt team. Better yet, maybe a low end ACC team. Good to start with a win, but at least play reasonable opponents. Cinci played Miami(OH). Hugely favored but at least a FBS team. Nicholls might even beat them, who knows.

I’d have no problem playing a very good team. Hell, play a big time P4 team. I’d be good with that for sure..

Great idea, but most P4 (or whatever the hell you want to call them) don’t want any part of us - especially at home. They fear getting their ass handed to them just like UCLA and Ole Miss recently. Fact.

RE: conference's opening week: 4-7, overall disappointing results
yeah we beat a FCS team.
A GOOD FCS team.
Some of those teams are beating FBS teams...North Dakota State comes to mind. Montana beat Washington from the PAC12 yesterday.
That was a good test for a true freshman.

I'd like to see our schedule upgraded too, but that's being a bit harsh. Other AAC teams have their cupcakes coming up, and we have Miss. State in two weeks.

Everyone plays an FCS game.

We beat the spread against ours with a guy not expected to win the QB1 job.

Meanwhile some very notable programs out there are getting beat as ranked teams v. FCS, some are getting blown out by FCS.

Perspective matters.

I would love to play better opponents but the schedule was years in advance as you see we will play Arkansas and boise in next 5 years but the same teams you boast about has the same cupcake schedule as we do.

East Carolina only played nc state- which the rest are not power 5
Tulane- I will admit I like their ooc schedule than ours as they have another big game with ole miss
Temple-played bottom big ten team and bottom acc team.. looks like they need to schedule cupcakes because it might be a long year
Houston- schedule sucks too BUT THEY ARE INVITED
UCF-played Boise and Louisville.

I am still waiting to know when we will be happy by of the realignment you said Tiger fans would like. Looks like again we might be left out

I just DGAF about what anyone else in this league does now except the Tigers. Had high hopes with an improving AAC, but with the coming defections, that no longer interests me. We won’t really have any conference rivals anymore. Just go win as many games as we can. We’ll most likely be getting some lousy new teams coming in. Hopefully Wichita remains pretty good in hoops.

I'm about there with you. I've been excited about the AAC for a few years and just as it looks like we are becoming a force this crap happens.

So, just go play the games we get and win.

Ike, Oklahoma plays the Western Carolina Catamounts, N.C. State plays the Furman Paladins, Rutgers plays the Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens and Texas Tech plays the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks. All FBS schools. Everyone gets a cupcake. Leave no cupcake behind.

A "cupcake" is exactly what this team needed

While we didn’t kill it, the ACC had a really bad week too. Most of their better teams lost, but at least were playing really good teams

RE: conference's opening week: 4-7, overall disappointing results
I'd say there were really 2 disappointments in that list - Tulsa and Navy.
Houston and Tulane were really close to getting good wins.
UCF got a good win, and the rest of us performed as expected.
It's been a top-heavy league for a bit now, but the top is good.

It would be interesting to see who beat the spread.

Tulsa was a 22 point favorite to beat UC Davis.
Marshall was a 3 point favorite to beat Navy
SMU a 32 point favorite
Houston a 2.5 point favorite
Memphis a 22.5 point favorite
Cincy a 22.5 point favorite
Rutgers a 14.5 point favorite
App State a 9 point favorite
UCF a 6.5 point favorite

not mentioned so much of the offensive play calling in the Nichols St game.
At times...it was pardon the pun, offensive.
