They have some good teams up top but lots of mediocre to bad teams to drag down their RPI and prevent any conference prestige from setting in. Like others have said also, you know it's a bad conference when Memphis, UConn, Cincy, etc. are looking to get out asap. It's just a placeholder conference for schools in line to try and go F5 in football. It's an audition essentially. Those schools are not committed at all to remaining there. So glad to be in a stable conference where we can focus on hoops and not realignment every year. We know our strengths and we stick to them.

I know there was a push by the AAC to be part of the "P6" but I didn't realize they had added it to their conference logo. Is this new?

Perhaps ESPN can tell Tulsa they are actually a P6. Not only are they 2-9 in football, and last place in the AAC West, their basketball team just lost to Illinois State, after losing to Lamar last week. East Carolina has lost to Radford and Central Connecticut. South Florida has lost to Morgan State. Houston lost to Drexel.
