The quality of athletes is not a big difference with the Big 12 and the American, you can say one game doesn't count, but with your Central Michigan loss and our uncompetitive win over them as well as Houston's win over OU, the only thing to go off of at the moment is the American is the same if not better then the Big 12. " P5" is only a political term. Does not determine if you are a good football team or not, there are plenty of schools in other conferences that are better then P5 teamsThere is still a big difference in revenue, attendance and quality of athletes
