The return of the daily-ish good morning Mountain West podcast is back!  Everyone must be thinking what the heck is up the this title. Well, it is a what the American Athletic Conference is branding themselves. They are trying to shoehorn their league into a non-existent seat at the big boy table. We give them credit since the Mountain West is not doing much, but still come on AAC. I also threw some shade at CBS Sports who for some reason believe the AAC has earned the benefit of the doubt in terms of respect among the Group of Five. They don't have that and have only been to one NY6 bowl game. The other news hit in this podcast is a bit more detail on Air Force's Troy Calhoun discussing an eight-team playoff with a preceding playoff between four Group of Five teams. ----- SUPPORT THE PODCAST This episode is presented by Texture.
