What term (classification) would you prefer to choose to describe the AAC?

[AZ Shocker]

In this decade (since 2010)...The American Conference has won 1 Men's Basketball National Championship. The SEC has won 1. The ACC has won 3 and The Big East has won 3 Men's Basketball National Championships.

The Big-12, Big-10 and Pac-12 have NOT won a Men's Basketball National Championship in this decade.

Perhaps they should call it the Power-7. At least for Mens Basketball.

Five power conferences reside within the NCAA, but one conference is making the claim that they should be the sixth.

The American Athletic Conference released a campaign in May, calling themselves a power six conference. At first, the campaign was laughable. It seemed as if they were trying to make themselves feel better after a couple of their schools fought for an invitation to the Big 12 Conference. Now, it looks as if they may have known what they were talking about...

The hoops landscape in the AAC is currently one of the best in country and is also one of the most successful historically. The teams in the AAC have 24 combined Final Four appearances and six national championships.

Over the offseason, the conference added two of those final four appearances and a perennial NCAA Tournament dancer over the past half-decade in Wichita State University. The Shockers have appeared in five straight NCAA Tournaments and went to the Final Four in 2013.

UC men’s basketball coach Mick Cronin knows what the addition means for the AAC.

“It’s going to be great for everyone in the league, except the night we have to play them,” Cronin said at AAC Media Day.

Going into the season, Wichita State is already garnering some attention for the conference as they rank No. 8 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Cincinnati is just behind them at No. 13. The conference’s two top-13 teams are more than the Big 10 Conference, who has one....

It seemed humorous at first, but it’s time to buy into the message: the American Athletic Conference is a part of the Pow6r."
