AAC > ACC

Virginia didn't show up today.  That might have been the worst performance of any bowl team yet in 2018

SMU was pretty bad too, but considering their coaching change, they had a good reason.

Forgot about Memphis....3 and 1 would be fine with me.

SMU made it close though

2-10 against G5 teams is terrible, if we want to be a better conference we must dominate those teams.

Since the outcome is pro P6/AAC I wanted to go ahead and preemptively get the narrative out there! 

Besides; USF beat Temple who beat Navy who is beating Virginia who beat Georgia Tech who beat Wake who beat Syracuse who beat Clemson, therefore, USF > Clemson!

BOOM!

Yeah - why are we all forgetting Memphis?
 

Really Memphis and UCF games are the only ones that illustrate a reasonable comparison. Virginia was 3-5 in conference with their wins coming over UNC, Duke, and GA Tech (only mediocre conference team they played). Texas Tech was equally bad in conference play. Unfortunately these early low-tier bowls pit successful G5 teams against barely eligible P6 teams - props to AAC for raising above and at least winning those match-ups and bigger props to Navy for doing it convincingly but it doesn't change anyone's minds about where the conference is.

Memphis will be a great game to see where conferences stand - basically AAC #2 against a mid-tier P6 school. I am hopeful!

Memphis is a 4 point favorite over Iowa State.

Always choose USF success over conference success. This conference and/or us in it will be gone in six years anyway.
