Irrelevant IMO- we have never been able to compete at highest level…..

BCS, “P5/G5”, NIL, transfer portal. The playing field is NOT level when you talk about SEC, BIG whatever, PrimeTime, etc. NEVER HAS BEEN, whatever it’s been called or the latest topic of angst.

I think what people are so upset and frustrated with right now is the fact we have been in a conference with higher profile; better teams in better markets, and getting LOT more media revenue money and bigger budgets, yet losing to Marshal and App St (getting wore down and getting stomped at crunch time/4th Qtr.) you can throw JMU in there and we’ve barely handled ODU when they were awful, and bowl game with Coastal was a dogfight before their QB went down. On a (somewhat ) related note, South Alabama not only beat Oklahoma St this weekend, they curb stomped em.

I certainly can’t speak for everyone, but I just want us to be competitive with our supposed “peer group”. Currently we are not, so it seems
