Liberty beat UMASS 45-0. Yeah, everyone beats UMASS, and easily. Gotta be tough to be a player/coach/fan of UMASS.

Iowa State beat Texas 23-20. ULL's win over them is looking better every week.

Tomorrow...Gig 'em Aggies, beat dem tiggers!

Any day ND loses is a good day. But they appear to be legitimate this year, and deserving of their ranking. Unlike most years when they’re significantly overrated.

Good thing Oregon and Oregon State wear bright unis...makes it easier to see them in this Fog Bowl.

The PAC 12 is eliminated from the CFP race. The Ducks were their only hope.

Correct. The most over-rated conference in football fails again. Love it.

ULL 70 ulm 20....now 0-9 and still have not had a lead even for one second this season.

aTm 20 tiggers 0 end of the 3rd qtr.

The Big12 isn’t far above. They disappoint their fans every single year.

Not sure the PAC 12 is over-rated. The consensus is they are at best the 4th to 5th best conference, with the Big 12. Do you feel the AAC is also a better conference?

I do, at least in recent years. I started to make a joke about how the PAC 12 should be wearing the P6 stickers, and not the AAC.

All the yaking about the Big XII is silly. It was only 11 months ago that the Big XII had 3 Top 25 teams playing in major bowls games, including OU in the College Football Playoff. #4 OU played #1 LSU in the Peach Bowl, #7 Baylor played #5 Georgia in the Sugar bowl, and #25 OSU played TX A&M. In other bowls; Texas played #11 Utah, Iowa St played #15 Notre Dame & KSU played #23 Navy. Yeah, the Big XII lost most of the bowl games, but wow, that was a brutal schedule of bowl competition. They played #1, #5, #11, #15, #23 and unranked TX A&M. :shocked2:

The Big XII will be back.

I tend to agree that the AAC compares to the Pac 12, which is amazing when you look at budgets and recruiting advantages the Pac 12 enjoys. Part of it is better coaching, but imagine if the dollars were equal.

Back to what? Being just another over-rated conference? Yeah, I can see that.

.....Oh....maybe having two teams (out of only 10 in the league) ranked the national Top 7, like they did last year. That's pretty reputable, and it hasn't been that long ago.

Good post. I think the AAC has definitely catapulted itself into the winners circle. With the emergence of Cincinnati's and Memphis's programs as recent football powers, UCF's undeniable football success, and recently ranked football programs at Houston, Navy, SMU, & Temple, the AAC has earned their stripes. Even former conference doormat Tulsa is ranked #25 right now. Heck, even Tulane is experiencing a measure of success....at least for Tulane.

So, the AAC has at least 8 or 9 solid football programs, out of 11 members. The Pac12 can't touch that.

ULaLa escapes Boone, NC with a W. Damn sloppy special teams game.
