Is the AAC only a 2 bid conference?

If we only get 2 teams in the tournament this year without SMU it would not look good imo. The conference would then look like a mid major rather than a conference that is close to being a P5 type conference imo. Maybe Tulsa or Temple could make a run.

Well right now there might only be 2 teams in the NCAA tournament (though most would consider it a 3 bid league as we will almost certainly have a resume that qualified).
I'm a bit surprised Tulsa has struggled as much as they did given what they had returning. Temple should do better in conference but I don't think they will do well enough to earn a bid. Memphis on paper should be a tournament level team but Pastner is simply bad at coaching the game of basketball (obviously he is a good recruiter).
In theory if each program were preforming at historic levels (and for SMU our recent history) this should be a 4-5 bid league a year. Uconn, Cincy, Memphis and SMU with Temple/Tulsa fighting as bubbles.

The irony here is that Temple, Memphis and Tulsa need a resume building win over somebody really good to have a shot.
As Ray Wylie Hubbard says: "The problem with irony is that nobody gets it."

Since Temple beat Cincinnati today we might be looking at a one bid conference if Cincinnati loses a few more.

We will definitely get one but I hope conference play gets us to two or three and the media constantly mentions it would be one more with the Ponies.

We cant get less than one
To be honest, our conference mates so far doing little to solidify resumes in OOC

Yeah, no kidding. I've been very disappointed in the AAC so far. Right now, this is a 1 or 2 bid league. And I don't see any real prospect of that changing unless someone other than Cincy or SMU goes on a tear in conference play.
