Literally a school we beat last year. I don’t get it. I see it as a downward movement, the AE’s more competitive than the WAC
That's actually incorrect I'm sad to say. The WAC has New Mexico State which is usually the league's best team, and several others bring the overall RPI of that league somewhere into the high teens. That's much better than the lower 20's the AE usually is in. The AE is often one of the bottom 5-10 conferences in the country, so this is actually an upgrade from a competition standpoint for Otchere.
