AAC future bowl situation is in complete shambles

[slick1ru2]

I would imagine that ND now has an auto bid tied in with however many the ACC gets just like the Big East bowl ties they shared.

The AAC said last week that they are creating their own game. I kind of figured that we weren't looking to good in that department when that was released.

You beat me to it.

Aresco mentioned that at the same time he said he was working to keep the existing. Didn't sound good.

Reminds me of when the tri lambs were forced to create their own fraternity

I have thought for a while, and I still say we need to be working on relationships with the MWC. I'm fine with the AAC developing a bowl as long as it is with them.

 

I would rather our champion play their #2 and vice versa with the highest ranked getting the 'mythical' bowl bid. 

 

I don't think more than 3-4 AAC teams should go bowling anyways. The payouts for any more games than that won't be great, be lost in the shuffle and the schools will more than likely lose money on the venture anyways. We can do things different, so why don't we?

 

Our number one playing like, the SEC's #6 or something feels cheap. No one will care and if somehow an AAC team did win, it will be because the SEC (or other 'P5' team) just couldn't bring themselves to show up to the game. It's a can't win.

 

I don't buy the. "Oh, it's our chance to make a statement" argument. No one will have our back and the media will discredit the win once the whistle is blown.

No Brainer. USF just has to be the highest ranked non-Power 5 team at the end of each season to claim the one playoff spot.

 

 

To claim a spot in one of the 6 playoff bowls ... 

 

Only 1 spot goes to a non-power 5 school.

  Lets talk what we can get. Here is the current 2013-14 Bowl slate.  So what bowls are up for grabs?  I would think any CUSA bowls are on the block.  That being said how many do you want?  Hawaii?  Boise?  I think not.  How many tie in do we need? I would think as many as CUSA has so 5 primary and 2 alternates. Based on that we need to add the Military, Liberty(full time) and Bell. Local bowls no brainers not a lot of competition for those. That would give us Beefs vers USA, Military vers ACC, Bell vers MWC, Liberty vers SEC, BBVA vers SEC.  Maybe some secondary arrangements.  Not great bowls, but local enough for good turn outs.  Hopefully we can worm our way in to some bigger bowls who don't want ACC number 7 and would be ok with AAC number 1.

  Also I don't want to play the top team in CUSA, MAC, or SunBelt unless its our top team.  We can only loose those games.  A win is because we are better a loss means the whole conference is sucks.  So no MWC#1 vers AAC#1.  Also the AAC names is terrible AMC would have been better.

Unfortunately, this is the EXACT reason no teams in the Power5 are going to want to play ANY AAC teams moving forward.

[Brad]

Except they're in a P5 conference and it will be forgotten, and they'll still be in the exclusive P5 club. No harm.

[BullsFanInTX]

Who would want to transfer to USF where their reward for a great season is playing CUSA in the Beef bowl or something similar. Aresco has been outflanked and outsmarted at every turn. Thanks AAC. thanks aresco.
