I think OU is better positioned by a long shot, but your point stands.

How much of that is due to the fact that they can’t play any top Big 5 teams?

We’d be undefeated with the original schedule

You might be right. The teams on the original schedule haven't been that great.

Maybe. We're a lot better now than 2 months ago, I think.

AAC anchored by Cincy, UCF, USF + BYU and also UH, SMU could be very competitive

No G5 conference will ever make the jump to the big time (money, prestige,

Weird “pipe dream” comment btw. can’t tell where you get that. Your pipe dream?

I went ahead and totally misread your post originally. I'm good at that.

No worries. I agree with you about it!

There were plenty of teams in the old WAC that are now P5 just a few decades ago

Add BSU too.

The AAC is not a good option for many reasons

The TV partners were not willing to pay more for adding two more teams.

Yep. We were in if they paid more.

I wondered if they regret not inviting us and/or Cincy for 2020 (temp members)

Relieved you mean. How embarrassing would it be for a temporary team to win
