With ALL due respect,

Nobody gives a rat's @$$ about the AAC's record vs. the G4. Of course, we've won over 90% of those games.

With all due respect, the AAC is far below 90% overall against them historically. This is absolutely our best year in this regard. Hilarious that this comes from the only team to lose to a G4 this season.

I think going in to last year we averaged like 17-3 record against them. That's off the top of my head though. Last year was abnormal as we ended up with our most losses vs the g4.

We also have by far them most wins against p5 in comparison to the others since the cfp era.

The separation is pretty clear. If we keep winning it will be undeniable.

'15 - '18 AAC was 39-24 vs G4s.

Our performance this year is a pretty big jump from years past.

Last year was a down year. We have one hard game and one game we should be favored in so this is definitely an up year (at worse a 12-3), but we only avg 5 losses a year in 15, 16, & 17 . Getting out with only one loss this year would make it incredible. Still a .660+ winning percentage is pretty good. Not .933 good though.

The Sunbelt is the best G5 football conference the last few years not named MWC or AAC.

So the second best G4. Congrats. Seriously.

According to realtimerpi, Temple's record against non G4 teams is 33-18 (65%), which means that the rest of our OOC record to date is only 22-17, and that includes all of the AAC wins against FCS teams.

We can be proud that the AAC has demonstrated something approaching parity with the P5 this season, but unless the AAC wins all its P5 bowl games this year, it will be perhaps another year or two before AAC FB can make a strong case of achieving parity with the P5.

In light of BYU's loss to Toledo this weekend, which should have brought them back down to earth, BYU could do itself and the AAC a favor by joining as a FB member.

Although it's not going to happen until 2025 at the earliest (because of full schedules until then), I would love to be in an expanded AAC this year. If Boise State and SDSU were part of the expansion (to get the AAC to 14 schools), this could be BYU's conference schedule:

at Tulane (instead of @Toledo)
at USF
Tulsa (instead of Liberty)
at SMU (instead of @Utah State)
Navy (instead of @UMass)
Houston (instead of Idaho State)
at San Diego State
Boise State

At best, I think BYU goes 5-3 against that schedule....but gets at least 3 wins.

AAC championship game would likely be Boise State/SMU winner against UCF/Memphis winner. Right now, the AAC would have three ranked teams, with Memphis knocking on the door.

My AAC bowl projections would be (not necessarily based on conference standings order):

Hawaii: SDSU v. Hawaii
Cure: Cincinnati v. FAU
Armed Forces: Navy v. Colorado
First Responder: Tulane v. Northwestern
Birmingham: Memphis v. Army
Gasparilla: UCF v. Miami
Las Vegas: BYU v. California
Military: Temple v. Pitt
Liberty: SMU v. Kansas State
COTTON: Boise State v. Texas

To the casual fan, no it makes no difference. But it is starting to show that the AAC is a G1/P6 and not G4. Keep doing that and win a few more P5 games then
we shall see.

What is shows is that the bottom of our conference is getting better. We are growing the brand, getting better coaches and facilities with the better TV contract.

The AAC is really starting to pull away from the g4. The financial part and exposure is starting the big division.

Actually watched some of FAU v Charolette game, terrible looking football. It was mostly Charolette that looked bad but bad football is bad for a conference.

Should be 13-0 vs the G4. Right Temple?

Hey, man. Not even the SEC is 100% against the G4.

Given that not even the SEC is 100% against the G4, I stand corrected. Going 12-1 against the G4 is an accomplishment, and a feather in the AAC's cap.

Most would probably agree that no one gives a rodent's derrier about dominating the games against FCS teams. The G4 are a different entity. Certainly the wins against P5s that are celebrated the most.

True, the Owls were responsible for the only loss to a G4 (the reigning MAC East champion, playing on their home field), but they probably made up for it by going 2-0 against the P5, albeit on TU's home field.
