AAC Bowl games matter this year more than ever!

Great win for the league. We needed this. Let’s see what the final rankings are. UCF should be no lower than 3rd.

As a closet Nebraska fan, I’m excited that Frost is coming home to hopefully bring them back to the big time.

Successful bowl season for the AAC. Won the one that counts. Blew out an ACC team. Beat a Big 12 team. Still have no idea why Memphis was so lackluster at home against Iowa State.

I've been pretty open minded about what is to blame about UConn's current football/men's hoop situation. I was willing to consider the conference is hurting us too much in ways we can't imagine. Maybe that is true but certainly not to the extent of being as bad as we are currently are in both sports. Too many other AAC schools performing too well in football/men's hoop to simply pin the league for our problems. Its becoming clear our main reason for our predicament is the coaching malpractice of Bob Diaco and Kevin Ollie.

Does anyone with a brain actually think these games matter with respect to P6 credibility?

May I remind you that with a nationally relevant program in West Virginia, highly ranked Cincinnati, Louisville and then hell our Edsall teams along with Pitt and Rutgers put together some damn good seasons including BCS bowl wins.

What did that get us? Nothing.

We are what we are. Would any of us consider the A-10 a major basketball player if St. Joe's beat us in 2014 or if URI made it to the Elite 8 last season? No.

Sorry to disappoint you but UCF knocking off Auburn Matters. Ya think?

To who? For what?

Boise knocked off a bunch of teams. What did it get them or Mountain West?

Nothing.

It’s a nice win that people will talk about for 36 hours and then the whole world will forget about it.

UConn fans cheering them on is insane - because if it means anything it means a lot to the program not the league.

Not that I think anyone is expanding - but they just might want a functional athletic program when they do - so your pom poms are going to feel pretty awkward then.

Nothing will happen over night, but it will get people talking, which has already started. Plus, it will help recruiting, "to be the next UCF."

Right and don't forget when the Power 5 propaganda machine reminds everyone that Auburn would have won had they had the right shoes that will seal your position! LOL!

As Randy Edsall gets UConn ready to compete in the AAC, Frost has a multi year rebuilding job (albeit with much higher expectations), but especially rebuilding Disastro's disaster of a defense, before Nebraska starts competing for a B1G Championship or playoff spot. There is that parallel with Dicko being the common denominator.

The reaction could just as easily be that the P5 sees that too much talent is leaking out of the P5 and they gotta tighten it up by changing recruiting rules so that only they have a shot at the best players and coaches. I mean, if I was them and I controlled a cartel like they do, that is what I would do. And I would enlist my chief enabler ESPN to assist in that effort.

Yes, like all the other claims in this thread I’m sure that will be the case.

I like how you don’t ever provide what the tangible evidence will be for your nonsense but rather stick to broad claims that don’t ever come true.

If the next TV contract is yuge - at least we know who to blame.

If they hold on to win...Looks like we’ll be opening up against a top 10 team?

Paul Finebaum said Auburn was going to "dust" UCF. Keep laughing Pauly!

AAC is close to being back to where the Big East was? One could hope so.
