Ugly beatdown of the conference that claims P6 status.

Click aqui ----->You might wanna pump the brakes on P6 amigos

The AAC is head and shoulders above the rest of the G5, though. It's hard to refute that.

Are they? The top of their conference hasn't been better than the top of any other conference. Only true difference is the bottom of their conference is better than most.

P5.5 stickers then?

Some of the AAC memeber can compete with lower tear p5 schools with attendance and performance, but not budgets and thats what drives being a power school unfortunately. Some of the AAC members need to drop to FCS because they don't deserve or bring anything to the AAC.

My other bumper sticker is G6

The aac doesn't have the depth of other power conferences, but in any given season, their best team (or.2 or 3) could compete in any conference that isn't the SEC.

In basketball, they're undoubtedly a power conference, especially with Wichita now in the conference.

Did you read the article? There were some very good points brought up. It didn't trash them as a conference. Just stated the reasons they were NOT a P6.

Sounds to me like he makes a pretty good argument for the Mountain West to be a P6 over the Ack. The sooner this P6 crap stops, and we realize we are all in the same sinking ship together and we need to rise together for any of our conferences to be relevant, the better. I root for the Ack in bowl season and against the P5. Otherwise I don't really care.

Not that I disagree with Matthew Kenerly, the AAC is not a P6, but I think he needs to put the MWC conference in that same light.

He talks up San Diego State but they had their own struggles last year....got the **** beat out of them by South Alabama and their top 25 finish was a gift after losing 2 of the last 3. And when you lose 31-63 at home in game 11 to a team that was 7-6 (Colorado State) that team shouldn't even be in the picture for a top 25 ranking I think they got a the gift by playing and beating Houston. San Diego State also played the 114th schedule. The only G5 conference champ with a worse schedule was Ark St.

If we are being honest there's not been a lot of difference over the last 3 years between most of the G5 at the end of the year...

2016 AAC, MAC, MWC each had 1 team to finish in the top 25...S. Fla 19th, San Diego State 25th, W. Mich 15th (Western was like 27th or 28th)

2015 the AAC & CUSA were the only G5 conferences to have schools finish top 25, Houston 8th, Navy 18, Western 24th

2014 MWC, AAC & CUSA each had 1 school to finish top 25...Boise State 16th, Memphis 25th, Marshall 23rd

Not a lot of difference in the top 4 teams in either conference by the end of the year. CUSA just hasn't had a team to open strong and get the hype. Even Marshall's 11-0 start was knocked because they played the worse schedule in FBS

The MWC doesn't go around putting little P6 stickers on their helmets, declaring themselves as such. It's just that simple.

That's the deal. I don't even blame an agressive commissioner for trying to pull it off but when the break happens and it is coming eventually the AAC will not be included. There's just too big of a gap budget wise between the current big boys and the rest of us. Doesn't mean we can't put together a good athletics team in football or hoops that can beat some of or a lot of the big boy conference teams.

Seeing those stickers on the Memphis helmets last year had to lead to some chuckles by our players as we were beating the shitt out of them. I can put a sticker on my shirt that says I'm a UFC stud. Doesn't make me one.

I understand that but this writer was trying to take the AAC down a notch by talking the MWC up (I assume he is connected to the conference). Neither one is a P6 but overall the AAC has out preformed the MWC and it's not close. I got the feeling this was just as much a 'pro' MWC article as it was the AAC is not a P6 article.

If it was just about the AAC not being a P6 there is no reason bringing a San Diego State team into it. They play a awful schedule the last 2 years and preformed worse vs that schedule than other G5 champs preformed with their schedule.

2015 ....schedule 115 & SRS 46
2016 ....schedule 114 & SRS 41

compared to

CUSA

2016..............100 & SRS 27
2015...............98 & SRS 28

MAC

2016..............107 & SRS 15TH
2015...............69 & SRS 34TH

AAC

2016...............91 & SRS 24TH
2015...............90 & SRS 17TH

SBC

2016.............87 & SRS 25TH
2015.............118 & SRS 70TH

As I said to me this article was as much about trying to talk the MWC ...UP as it was taking down the AAC. A better argument would have been to show the AAC vs the worse P5 conference and the AAC is not even in the same neighborhood...not in the same time zone

The American distinguishes itself in many aspects from the other 4 Conferences.

Media coverage is the most important difference. Our schools are being broadcasted like never before and because of this, growing like never before. The American has a mix of major brands and up and coming ones that are all growing tremendously. Brands so strong a P5 was interested in almost every school in the conference. The attendance/fan support is another big difference. Back in the days when the Tigers played in CUSA I felt like I was watching high school football 85% of the time.. but now It's completely different all the coverage feels like we're in a hmmmmm.... P5 conference? And for basketball.. its another world and only getting better with the addition of Wichita State. Our games we play now are not only almost all on national TV but against opponents with filled stadiums and atmosphere untouched by our past. Even though the American is young, it has been viewed as superior from the start in 2013 from the other G4's. As our schools and fan bases continue to compete and accustomed it will only become stronger. We have a lot left to prove and gladly take the challenge. With that being said branding ourself as better only lights the flame even brighter to prove it for all the critics. It will make every non conference game more critical just because we are being watched and judged by many. With all the hype this P6 branding has done it will result in more competitive exciting games.



p.s.

The Tigers are going to kick a$$ this year

Why not have a P10 so everybody wins?

Didn't trash the conference, but it was a pretty epic beat down on the absurdity of what they are trying to do with the P6 thing.

Houston had no coaching staff and it showed. They went up 10-0 and made zero adjustments. SDSU played in the weaker half of the MWC. No Air Force, no New Mexico, no Boise. The best team they played, Wyoming, they lost to earlier in the year. They were a fraud.

just sayin....... only P6 invited??

WKU had no coaching staff but yet still donkey kicked Memphis last year, WKU has won the last 4 games against the AAC ..... I guess we are P5
