because of course there was going to be major gripes when one of the power conferences was left out.

but times change and the PAC is no longer a competitive league. I don't think they should have a guaranteed seat at the table 'just because'. The AAC is actually a stronger conference right now.

There's going to be a 1-2 loss team from a different power conference sitting at home that would beat the brakes off the PAC champ. And would also bring a lot more fans to the game as well as tv viewers.

PAC needs to get their shit together as a conference instead of complaining their way into a free and undeserved handout.
