I suspect because of their inherent bias they probably don't. Right now in the coaches poll you have SMU, Cincy, and Temple ranked and in the AP you have SMU and Cincy ranked and Tulane the next team out. If the committee poll came out today I'd be stunned if anyone but SMU from the AAC was ranked in it. I fully suspect they never rank more than 1 AAC team at a time in their poll, which allows them to keep up the narrative that the reason they don't consider any non-P5 school is that they don't have to go thru the week in week out "grind" in conference.

AAC has finally reached the level the MWC was at for about 5 years straight before the big conference realignment.

Boise State of the WAC was a thorn in the MW’s non-AQ side. So get used to it, AAC fans. It’s all what being the tallest midget gets you.

Achieved five years ago?

Sorry, but as a Fresno fan you have to acknowledge the BS of this statement lol. The MWC never really achieved anything because it never had the consistency the AAC has.

Not so fast my friend. IIRC, I looked at the Sagarin and MC conference rankings from a decade ago, and the MW (and maybe the WAC) were stronger than the AAC has been the last five years.

Remember, in the five years of the CFP, the AAC has been the #1 G5 conference 3 times, #2 once, and #3 once. The MW has been #1 twice and #2 three times.

That's not much separation.
