Whaler is right about this. The rest of the world knows that the AAC is the best of the G5 conferences. It also knows that the AAC isn't a Power Conference and that it possesses no conceivable path to becoming a Power conference. By attaching the nomenclature "P6" to itself, the AAC is implicitly claiming to be a peer of the P5. Such status cannot be claimed. It can only be conferred from the outside. Ultimately it can only be established by the P5 agreeing that the AAC is a Power Conference. The ACC will never be considered a Power Conference until the P5 acknowledges that status in word and deed. It is manifestly obvious that the P5 does not believe any such thing. And neither do the networks as judged by the money paid to the conference.

The claim of 'P6' does not emphasize the strengths of the AAC. Claiming 'P6' emphasizes the weaknesses of the AAC because it highlights the immutable differentiation that the AAC is trying to overcome.
