This is a truly fantastic accomplishment for the entire Aztec football program (coaches, players, admins, etc) and university in general.
Congrats!

I msut respectfully disagree with tonatiuh. The AAC schools from top to bottom were much better than the MWC this year, especially on the bottom end. I've been planning a thread comparing the MWC with the AAC in terms of Sagarin's rankings; such a comparison does not make the MWC look good.
But here's the thing we should keep in mind. Were the AAC to add SDSU, Boise State, Fresno State, BYU, and UNLV, that conference as a whole would definitely be the "best of the rest." Couldn't be worse than what we have now. Furthermore, we would not have to play several current MWC teams that have an unfair altitude advantage. (I include UNLV in my list because of basketball and the destination city attractiveness of Las Vegas. I am also, with fingers crossed, hoping that the Rebels can actually become competitive in football.)
An expanded AAC as I suggested above would have the advantage of being represented coast to coast. When SDSU played E. Carolina or South Florida, the game would be TV earlier in the day, a big advantage to us.
We are so unlikely to join a P5 conference that joining an AAC including the best western G5 schools would be our only chance to upgrade conference affiliation.

Possibly #26 in Coaches Poll? Close, but actually we ended up #28. Soooooooooooo, you're saying...the Aztecs got Falked? ( ?) JAM

If they didn't lose to USA, they probably wouldn't have won ten in a row. They probably wouldn't have finished close to the top 25. No event in a college football season is truly independent. Pure speculation. Right back at you. Mine is more reasonable; yours is complete cherry picking.

It would have been nice playing Utah instead of Cincinnati. We were so ready to beat a much better team. That may have moved us up a few slots.

It's not like a Beth Burn grudge or a failed big east grudge or the lie about a pass or (see grudge lists #1 thru #40) but, yeah, you could say, easily, that my grudge level hits a solid 4.0 on the grudge GPA scale. I wanted to do extra credit to pull my grudge grade above a 4.0, but haven't really done a full on crazy rant. Oh well, I will just take the 4.0 grudge grade and be happy. Ok? JAM

It was a great season. If They didn't lose to USA they would have been Top 25. Holy $#!+ let it go.

JAM You mean besides the 27+ conference championships, record breaking fundraising, all the facility improvements, and the JAM center, to list just a few? Oh, and being one of how many schools with 6 straight bowls and NCAA Basketball tournament appearances? Your grudge is personal. We get it. I'm sure he kicked your dog, or are you still whining about some imaginary sideline passes?

Imaginary?
Sure. Mince try, but actual.
The coaches did all the work and your good farm buddy, did not hire one successful coach, but did have the big loss, of my favorite basketball coach, and one of the super best and successful coaches ever, Coach Beth Burns. How the hcal did he manage to lose her and what was the cost of it? No more NCAA tournament showings and a huge settlement or what?
The fund raisers are Bob's puppy and Ben is the guy who pulls in all the donated dough.
Get real and return to the Paloose, land of no horizon...whatever that means....

Sounds like just the wrong type of post. I am am not a liar. You are flat wrong. JAM

Everyone I know who donates to a level with benefits identifying sideline passes gets theirs, when available. Sometimes you have to take USA vs. homecoming due to demand, but that's fine. Then there's you. My guess is there's a legitimate reason.
Rather than your constant negative belittling posts you should simply take it up directly with the appropriate people. If you're still butthurt after doing so, sorry. But holding a grudge publicly only makes you look small. Stating the administration hasn't accomplished anything when you very well know that's not the case only makes you look SMALLER.

After decades of D-level ball, I'll take a Top 30 football program. It wasn't that long ago that teams like New Mexico were dropping 70 points on us. The last 5 seasons have been fantastic. I hope more people locally clue into that fact and find a seat at the game once in awhile.
