There are two components to this objective:

1 - you MUST be a conference champion

2 - having completed step (1), you must be ranked higher than the other G(x) teams who are also conference champions (generally a SOS function).

So, what you need is a tougher schedule (improved rankings) while playing lesser competition in-conference (greasing the rails to a championship).  It would seem to me that any conference that is considering adding a team would factor that into the equation. Do we necessarily want this FNG to come in here and dominate? We always say stuff about "our" conference, but we're really in it for ourselves. If I stand a better chance of making the cut, as is, why bring in someone who might leapfrog me? I think it cuts both ways.

Now if you're adding warm bodies to meet a contractual obligation (e.g., broadcast agreements), that's different. That's why we invited Lonnie, Jugdish & Mohammed. 

 

Well there is  a first time for everything,but if we play like we did in the second half we are not going to win the AAC. Yes Miami is deep, talented,and probably a top 5 team this year.  Our offense has struggled in the red zone and the coaching staff needs to work on improving that for conference play. Our defense got shredded in total yards  by all three fbs teams, but Southern Miss luckily wasn't good enough to out score USF. THe bad news is we have taken some beating and the team will need to respond to adversity on the field. The good news is we will not play a team as talented as Miami for the rest of the season unless USF makes the playoffs(highly unlikely). So it is Time for Golesh , the coaches, and the players to come out swinging for wins and give the fans something to be excited about.

That's the B12 hype machine in effect.
