I think the Pac-12 is overrated as well, but they have wins over Duke, Michigan, SDST, UNLV, Georgetown, Ole Miss, Illinois, BYU, Kansas, Harvard, Georgia, Marquette, UCONN, Houston, Arkansas, BC, Dayton, Purdue, Maryland.
What's the AAC got?
L'ville only played two teams worth a shit outside the AAC (UNC/UK) and lost both of them. Cincy's best wins are against NC State/Pitt/Nebraska, all middle of the pack in their conferences. UCONN beat Florida which is nice, but they lost to Stanford, and the rest of their best ooc wins were to mediocre also rans (Maryland, BC, Indiana, Washington). Memphis beat LSU/OK State, but also lost to OK State, and to Florida. SMU played only meaningful OOC games, and lost both (Arkansas/UVA). Houston lost to Stanford, Texas Tech, and ULL. Rutgers, holy shit, god awful. Lost to Princeton, William&Mary, and Drexel, among many others. UCF beat Miami but lost to FSU in their only decent non-conf wins, and both those teams finished worst than 8th in the ACC. Temple lost to Kent State, Towson, and Texas Southern. South Florida beat Alabama, but also lost to Santa Clara, Detroit, and Mississippi State, as well as a 25 point beat down to Oklahoma State. Face it, outside the top four teams in your conference the rest are straight trash. And even the clearly dominant team in the conference, Louisville, didn't notch one quality OOC win.
I personally think Louisville was deserving of 2-3 seed, but they didn't really do much to earn it other than UCONN three times. And UCONN lost to Stanford, perhaps the worst of all the Pac-12 teams that got in the tournament. So I can't see how you're complaining about the AAC being worse than the Pac-12 when your entire conference combined for something like 2 wins against the rest of the top 25 and a shitload of losses to a bunch of mediocre scrubs.
