Of course it's not "bad," unless you want to be "bad."

A touch hubristic and "badass," maybe, but not bad.

Is it "bad" that some others will disagree?

I would trust the rankings on this.

Cincy should be able to beat C. Carolina, Marshall, and Louisiana on a neutral field, but by how much, it's hard to say.

Tulsa, SMU, UCF, and probably Memphis would give them a good tussle on a neutral field and defeat them on their home fields, but maybe not on the road.

Houston and Tulane might be able to beat some of these teams on their home fields, but probably not on the road, and maybe not on a neutral field.

If C. Carolina, Marshall, and Louisiana were in the AAC, they would probably be among the top 5 or 6 best teams in the conference.

Cincy beats those teams by 2+ scores on a neutral field.

I think that's a hedge...nothing about Coastal Carolina in the two games I've watched makes me think they are any better than middle of the pack at best. I genuinely believe they'd be under .500 in the AAC.

The secondaries that they’ve been playing against are piss poor. (Not that all of our team have good defenses, but the ones that don’t like Memphis or UCF has such highly powered offenses that a team like Coastal Car. Wouldn’t be able to keep up)
