Look at the AAC basketball standings. They only have two bad teams, ECU and SF. Nine of their teams are in the Top100 RPI.
Temple is third last with an even season record, and is pretty darn good. They won the Charleston Tourney beating Clemson. They also beat SC and Wisconsin, but they have struggled in conference at 2-5. Their SOS is #2.
Yes, the AAC would be a big step up for us.
