[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 131952308, member: 1428007"] Power 5, etc. is largely a bunch of bunk. I watched several bowls and saw UCF beat Florida and Houston beat Auburn when its not supposed to be possible. Cincinnati, Houston, UCF and BYU have all held their own when able to play "p5" competition. Cincinnati-- over the last 4 years beat: Indiana, #8 Notre Dame, UCLA (2 X), Boston College, Virginia Tech. Lost by 3 to Georgia (2020). UCF --over the last 4 years beat: Florida, Boise(G5 but very good), Georgia Tech, Stanford, Pitt BYU-- over the last 4 years beat: USC (2X), Virginia, Washington State, Arizona State, Utah, Arizona (2x), Boise(G5 but very good), Tennessee, Wisconsin. Houston-- over the last 4 years beat: Auburn and Arizona These are sound teams in any league. Plus its not like the upper half of the AAC wasn't extremely competitive year in and out, they just didn't get the golden network ticket like other schools did. Add in most of the R8 BIG 12 and you've got a very sound league, you just don't have that historical "name" regardless of actual like record that the media likes (Texas or Florida or Auburn or USC or FSU or Michigan or PSU, for examples). Football /basketball extremely good still. After a few years someone like Baylor or Ok State, maybe a Cincinnati or UCF is going to break out into that "elite" playoff level--really have already been there a few years but weren't allowed in.
