I want some of whatever this dude is smoking.

He maybe right of the metrics for P5 inclusion only focus on football in the last 12 months and the amount of cash that a university can throw at a P5 Conference (via FedEx) and ignore everything else.

They weren't even good enough for the Big East when they tried for years lol. They were behind USF and Cincy in pecking order when the Big East was a P6. They've now lept over them, UConn, BYU, UCF, SDSU, Boise (lets not forget the Big EAST looked to Idaho and Cali before Tennessee when looking to fill voids). A couple decent years of a football and they're all of a sudden world beaters. I wish Bobby's boys had a chance to take Fed Ex University down a pet this year. Maybe the AAC title game at the Rent!
