40whatever to whatever was a long time ago. uc is the better team now.
I believe that those 2 teams are pretty even now. The Bearcats have improved in a big way and deserve a ton of credit for what they have done. So, if you want to say that they are even now, I'd agree. However 1) there really isn't a case for the Bearcats being 4 touchdowns+ better now and 2) it ignores the format of the poll.......

Feel free to create your own poll :), but I don't see any possible way that your vote is valid in this poll based on your own comment.
...and I don't mean any of this as serious as my comments may read.

I won't believe Cincy is better at any point until they prove it on the field. The argument is "we are better now". Based on what? Beating the same teams we are beating. Give me some examples because we can sure give you one really big one why Memphis is better.

RE: Week 13: Rank the AAC
UC is better now than when they played Memphis, period, but not saying they are better than Memphis now. Memphis won this year and nothing will change that fact. Worst game I ever attended. Getting to be a stupid argument with no way to prove, so for this year, Memphis is the better team.

Sensible post except for the no way to prove part. We proved it on the field.

If we lose today, which is always a possibility no matter who you play in this conference, then Cincy can start the we are better threads.

I assume you are talking about my ranking of ECU and them being ahead of UCF. While ECU may have one more conference loss, they have a far better overall body of work IMO. Also, their two losses were to much better teams and more closely contested than UCF's lone conference loss. Outside of that one ranking, I'm not sure what doesn't fit with body of work??? My ranking nearly mimicks the standings.
