IMO, If both USF and SDSU run the table, we'll outrank them.
Sure, they had a good early SOS, but their conference is weaker than the AAC.
Sure, we had a weak early SOS, but as the years progress the level of competition will significantly improve. We could be facing up to 2/3 ranked teams leading to the championship.
Memphis, SMU, UCF and potentially Navy are all top 40 schools when the year is all said and done. Can't say that about SDSU's conference.
