5th in the AAC and an NIT bid

There’s no denying that this team has the talent to compete in the AAC, and I do expect them to finish in the upper-middle range (4-6) of the conference because of it. In terms of post-season play, however, between a relatively-down AAC that will probably only have 2-3 NCAA Tournament bids and the Mustang’s unimpressive non-con slate, I wouldn’t bet on this being the year that they return to the Big Dance – the NIT seems more realistic for the time being.

Still, if the freshmen and transfers play to their ceilings and everyone can stay healthy, there’s definitely a chance that this team could surprise and go on to bust some brackets.

People who get it see the impeding trainwreck.

I don't have any problem with any "expert" predicting the AAC will be down this season (compared to last) and might only get 2-3 bids, but I still say if this team is able to win 25-27 games as you suggested, we are going to be one of those 2-3 AAC teams that get bids. What I really think will happen is that the AAC will be much more balanced this season and I don't see anyone pulling a 16-2 like Cincinnati did last year. I think 14-4 could win the AAC outright this season and that there will be several teams bunched in between 12-6 and 8-10 (and that SMU will be among that grouping hoping for NIT bids).
