AAC 0-2

[Ionbull]

Conference victories in bowl games should only be a piece in the conference perception puzzle, not exemplify it. I don't buy the claim that one conference is better because of bowl games alone.

This .... To me, if you're going to try to tout or dis a conference, do it based on regular season games. Games played that actually mean something.

Lots of folks compare how good or bad a conference is based on how the teams do against other conferences...  But I love the sarcasm

It wasn't sarcasm, just incoherency .... Should have read: To me, if you're going to try to tout or dis a conference in comparison to other conferences, do it based on regular season ooc games, not meaningless bowls.

Temple was overrated this year. They lost 4 of their last 7 and 2 of the wins were UConn and SMU and they didn't look that great in wins over ECU and UCF honestly. I am not surprised they fell to a good Toledo team. It is a shame we couldn't take care of business, but it is clear that Navy and Houston are the cream of the crop this year in the AAC despite Temple hanging around after starting 7-0 with an easy conference schedule.

Aac is about to be 0-3 as cincy is getting dismantled by San Diego state.

Yeah, it's UGLY.  UConn likely loses to Marshall.  Not sure who in our conference wins a bowl.  Houston v FSU?  Navy  v Pitt?  Tulsa v VTech? Memphis v Auburn?

There's nothing to be learned from Bowl Games, outside of the really major ones. 

There were years when the Big East did really well against other conferences in the post season and it gained the conference little, if any, additional respect. 

There's way too many intangibles during Bowl Games.  Often times, you have coaches who have departed pre-game, some who will be soon post-game, emotional players, some who don't show up, some playing in their hometowns living up the spotlight the night prior; you know, those sorts of things.  To some teams, the Bowl is the world, to others, totally meaningless.  

Also the reason why I don't hold the D's performance against Tom Allen.

You and Trip can believe all that buhlshit, but if you can't beat the team you are playing against then they are better than you.
