Really? All?

Leaving aside the very unlikely possibility that everyone respects the AAC, let's look at the murderer's row your powerhouses have defeated:

Yes, even as ridiculously overrated as it is, Ole Miss is still a good win. Everything on that schedule is dog [Mark May].

Let's not kid ourselves, the AAC is still CUSA with a new name.

I guess we have an understanding difference between 'well respected' and 'powerhouse', the term you use.

Perception is reality; reality is currently the AAC has 3 ranked teams....the same as the PAC12 and the ACC. Seems like the media and coaches have a healthy amount of respect this year for what the AAC is, not to mention it is a conference with a Heisman darkhorse (Lynch) and 3 of the hottest up and coming coaches all primed for big time jobs (Herman, Rhule, Fuente).

They actually have two Heisman darkhorses. Ward from Houston as well.

No, I just understand that beating up tomato cans is beating up tomato cans. For all the criticism he received Gee was absolutely right when he talked about 'Little Sisters of the Poor'.

The only significant difference between this year and past versions is that more members have been padding their early schedule instead of taking payoff games against bigger programs. That is why there are multiple undefeated teams. There is nothing new going on in that conference that we haven't really seen before.

At the end of the year there will not be three ranked teams. Houston, Memphis & Temple lose a game and they're out. Whoever wins their conference championship game will be the only one still in the Top 25 (unless the P5 turns into a complete fiasco).

Real respect is letting TSUN, UCLA & Ole Miss hang around with two losses.

I saw earlier that Houston is the fourth largest city in the U.S. I would think that ol Bavarian Tom could do quite well for himself keeping the locals at home.

This is a pretty disappointing "story", and I could be wrong, but I think it's just based on the fact that buckeyemania once mis-typed "Herman" as "German", and Crump then morphed that into Ol' Bavarian.

Whatever you say Muck. The AAC has had teams like Temple curb stomping PSU for years, same with Memphis routing highly ranked SEC teams, etc. etc. I'm just a confused old man, where'd I put my prune juice?

There's a reason Temple is Temple and Memphis is Memphis...if they were truly beating Ped State or SEC teams regularly, they would be part of the power 5 and not some Conference USA afterthoughts....

I'd look at the Maryland spot if they offered. Fertile recruiting base that they just can't attack and I think he could, at least much better than previous coaches. And then also their incoming QB is I highly touted guy even osu was interested in. And even though I think their jerseys are shit, high schoolers don't. Oregon lite.
