I disagree. WVU would be a member of the AAC right now if the B12 hadn't bailed them out. They got lucky. And while Boise is no better off, they aren't any worse off either.

Throw those two off the list and add Southern Miss.

Yep, WVU wasn't getting invited to the ACC or Big 10. A good question though is would the AAC have maintained BCS-level status if WVU had remained.

WVU, Cinci, UCONN, USF, UCF, ECU, Houston, Memphis, and Temple is a pretty damn solid core of teams.

If the Big 12 had passed on WVU, they would have taken Louisville, and the ACC would have taken UConn...leaving the AAC with WVU and Cincy IMHO.
