P6 helmet stickers

I saw on twitter that ECU and Tulane (there could be more teams, but those two definitely) are sporting P6 helmet stickers

Tulsa had them on theirs on Saturday too.

Sweet, I hadn't seen it talked about on here, maybe I missed it.

All AAC teams had them last week. Not sure how I feel about it.

Same. On one hand it's a little silly and on the other I like the we don't give an eff attitude.

Nah, it's great. Subtle way to say we're under rated and should be included in the "Power" conferences. We just have to make sure we prove it come bowl season...

Aresco brought it up before the Memphis game. He is determined to make this the next Power Conference and feels that our success over P5 teams means that we should be considered as such.

Didn't he say that we are 10-1 against G5 both last year and again this year?

AAC needs to get the NY day bowl again. Boise won't be qualified if Wyoming wins out. So, we need a Western Michigan loss. I think a 2 loss AAC team would outrank WMU and San Diego State.

The AAC has losses to Syracuse, Ohio State, S Carolina, Va Tech, Ole Miss, Baylor, TCU, Florida State, Penn State, Wake, Michigan and Maryland this year.

Yes those are P5 losses, he was making the point that we have separated our conference from the G5

Probably should have chosen week when we had a team ranked in the top 25 to lobby for P6 status.

Ah sorry, misread that!

The whole point is changing the press and selection committees opinion of us. They don't rank us because they don't think we're as good. But we have four teams at least that could be ranked. And none are.

I don't disagree with you but I also think that if we win the games we should win it would be different. If we had beaten Houston we would be ranked. Now we have to beat Navy and possibly win out to get a spot in the top 25.

The majority of AP voters haven't seen us play...they've seen our scores. Anyone who has actually seen us play knows we played with Ohio State for most of the 1st half and better than OU did for those 30 minutes. Anyone who has seen us play knows we played BETTER against Houston than OU did and had a real chance to win the game (and probably should have). Houston never appeared to be in danger of losing against OU.

I find the P6 stickers a bit silly, but whatever works

 

[lawpoke87]

Also.....Tulane and ECU might not be the game or the teams the conference would want out in front of this promotion.

 

[jerandlaur]

I Don't think they are out in front of any of this They posted pictures to twitter. Aresco actually mentioned Houston, Navy and Tulsa.

 

[aTUfan_rivals]

A good way to evaluate p5 vs g5 games. use the schools football budget for a per point value.

I bet the g5 get more bang for the buck

 

[chito_and_leon]

The difference between the AAC and the non-elite p5 teams is money. Give the AAC p6 money for 5 years and there'd be a lot of parity. Not Alabama or Ohio State level but on par with the ACC and second tier teams in the other leagues. Which of course is why there won't be a p6.

ECU did beat a P5 earlier this year.
