My prediction is that for UH to get in this year, we need at a minimum, a 12-6 record in the AAC with at least 1 win against Cincy or WS.

Otherwise, the way it is shaping up, only Cincy and WS will get invites.

If the AAC isn’t averaging around 4 bids and getting three in a down year, inviting wichita state was a mistake. They were brought in to up AAC visibility and RPI bottom line. I think we get three in this year at least but there’s been a lot of minor upsets (like SMU last night) which is hurting the cause.

Nowhere else to put this one, but I just had to mention this one. Just want to bathe in Aggie tears:
