That would certainly be a positive result.APPdiesel wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 1:30 pmAs if they weren’t already? Mid major status will always hurt our scheduling more than one win.
If nothing else maybe it’ll get us consideration for better early season tournaments and maybe relationships and deals can be struck from there.

No one wants to hear this, and for the record I really like the Sun Belt, but there are reputational advantages to the American.

There also used to be for CUSA and the MAC. But I will give that the American is a larger hill to climb.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 4:54 pmNo one wants to hear this, and for the record I really like the Sun Belt, but there are reputational advantages to the American.

With all of the movement no conference is what it used to be.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 4:54 pmNo one wants to hear this, and for the record I really like the Sun Belt, but there are reputational advantages to the American.
App is in the best place it could be and many schools would like to be in the Sun Belt Conference right now.

Re: App Receiving Votes…No Longer Just One
Although it does not matter as we will need to win tournament to get in, however UNCW beat Drexel last night to move into first in CAA. Drexel was in first place. Not sure who has tiebreaker in CAA. However, that win is looking better as the year goes along even though UNCW may not be a high quad win ...but it does mean we may have beaten another conference champion if they keep winning.

Re: App Receiving Votes…No Longer Just One
We will have to win the tournament to get in, but we still need good performances from our non-conference opponents to improve our seed line should we win. Being a 12 over a 13 or 14 would look awfully good.

Wouldn't it help for Kentucky to stay decent as well since Wilmington beat them?BambooRdApp wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 6:24 amAlthough it does not matter as we will need to win tournament to get in, however UNCW beat Drexel last night to move into first in CAA.

The other Mountaineers have been rumored to have him on their short list. Hope not. We need to do everything we can to keep him.

Got 1 vote in Coaches poll. Maybe they didn't see the TxSt loss?

BTW, Jerry Palm still has us a 12 seed in his latest bracketology.

Re: App Receiving Votes…No Longer Just One
I have noticed that our SB brethren are not listing RV by our name as we did with Auburn and JMU.
This is my very generic signature added to each post.

Re: App Receiving Votes…No Longer Just One
I fundamentally disagree purely on the basis that perception is reality and the SunBelt was a doormat for so long, it’s going to take about as long for that perception to change.AppWyo wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 8:34 pmWith all of the movement no conference is what it used to be.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 4:54 pmNo one wants to hear this, and for the record I really like the Sun Belt, but there are reputational advantages to the American.

Re: App Receiving Votes…No Longer Just One
There is going to be one more realignment in college football....I hope we make one of the M2s. It is going to be the p2, m2 and g(whatever). We have to make the M2 somehow. If not, it is going to be a tough climb from the g level in everything.InFor6More wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 8:29 pmI fundamentally disagree purely on the basis that perception is reality and the SunBelt was a doormat for so long, it’s going to take about as long for that perception to change.AppWyo wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 8:34 pmWith all of the movement no conference is what it used to be.appgrad95&97 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 4:54 pmNo one wants to hear this, and for the record I really like the Sun Belt, but there are reputational advantages to the American.

Re: App Receiving Votes…No Longer Just One
Agreed. It is possible for us to be in second tier and we have to do it. We really need to have a huge year this fall.spacemonkey wrote: ↑Mon Feb 26, 2024 9:02 pmThere is going to be one more realignment in college football....I hope we make one of the M2s.

Re: App Receiving Votes…No Longer Just One
Lunardi currently has us as a 13 seed playing 4 seed…Auburn. That’s seems fairly idiotic.
