10 team , StandardMatt Ryan or Russell Wilson ? <| sep |> So anyone who says something stupid deserves no sympathy forever . Fine mr . psychopath . <| sep |> Aresco firmly believes the American is on par with the selfproclaimed Power Five conferences Atlantic Coast , Big 10 , Big 12 , Southeastern and Pac 12 . He is absolutely certain the American is on a higher level than its brethren in the socalled Group of Five Conference USA , MidAmerican , Mountain West , Sun Belt . You want to know why the AAC isn ' t getting any respect ? Because in order to be treated as a power conference you need the support of other conferences . The AAC has been pushing this we ' re the 6 th power conference public campaign and all it has accomplished so far is making the other nine conferences pissed off at the AAC .
