We will never be a 1 bid league. Memphis, Cincy, temple, uconn, and us are legitamet programs. Tulsa is also a consistant good team.

We need to beat a power team from a P5 conference for the committee to think they made a mistake. Right now the UCONN Natty is looked upon as a fluke.
Not quite. The UCONN championship is looked on as just that...a UCONN championship. Just like Gonzaga or Wichita winning doesn't suddenly make their conferences great. No one is asking why people don't respect Boise State's football opponents more. AAC is new. Give it some time and success and we will develop that relationship with the power brokers and the media. It sucks....but that is why they are called growing pains. The door doesn't open unless you knock on it...and knock it down.
