AAC All Conference Awards

[GMG_Dallas]

Baffled. How does a top 3 offense have zero players on the All Conference 1st Team? Congrats to those who made 2nd, 3rd, and honorable mention. Rogers made none unless I missed his name.

Guess the conference leadership figures that worst defense in FBS cancels everything else....

Thanks alot coach for not starting him in the first place

If his current productivity didn't get him on this list, I doubt starting those other two games would make the difference.  Something else is at play here.

Frank Harris as QB1??   His stats are worse than both Henigan & Stone (not to mention Rogers, and even Zeno!).   Just stupid.
Obviously, you have to win.   That is the main statistic.

[UNTcrazy727]

Definitely some back door politics going on. Stone, Hennigan, and Rogers all deserve to be above Harris. 
 

Rogers not even making the Honorable Mentions is super sketchy. Seems like the AAC was more concerned with honoring careers rather than what happened this season.

Harris gets it for longevity.  Has nothing to do with stats.  He is overrated.

He started every conference game. That is what the teams should be chosen on. Stats are obviously not taken into consideration, just team records.

I doubt that he gets drafted. Probably will get a chance to go to camp with someone as an undrafted free agent.

These days, this looks more like a P5 Menu.

Re: Harris, and putting UTSA hate aside, wouldn't there be a TON of concern over his knees? I seem to recall he nearly had to hang it up like 1 or 2 seasons ago.

That all conference selection demonstrates how little NT is respected. 

Checked and it is selected by supposedly the coaches. 

There were only four teams without one first team selection, NT, UAB, USF and Temple.

Number of all conference players (all three teams, 1st team)

Tulane  15,7

SMU 15,6

UTSA 14,5

Memphis  8,2

NT  6,0

FAU  5,2

Tulsa  5,1

ECU  4,1

Charlotte  4,1

Navy  2,2

Temple  2,0

UAB  2,0

Rice   1,1

USF   1,0

 

All conference teams are always bias in favor of winning teams.  Does anyone really think the top 3 teams this year had 18 of the first team players, with the other 11 having 10?  If that were true there would be a lot more lopsided scores than occured.

NT as is our fashion lost to SMU by 24

However, lost to Tulane by 7. Memphis by 3, and UTSA by 8; not exactly being blown out 

I just wish for the players and fan's sake, that these teams would be taken a lot more seriously. 

Pick one player per position, not several because a hard decision has to be made

Base it on current year play only

Get a notarized coach's signature on their selection or the on-line equivalent 

Publish vote totals including all votes

0% chance this is actually the case. There's no way Frank Harris tied for best QB, while Rogers got zero votes. This was orchestrated by the conference to make sure certain guys were awarded for their careers rather than who was the best in 2023. 

[ForneyGreen]

This is really what I would expect based on player production (6 all-conference players - none on first team) *except* for Rogers not even being 3rd Team which really seems to be some major disrespect.

That being said... we need to ensure Rogers is NIL compensated at UNT - he's an outstanding young man, excellent QB, and a great representative for the Mean Green.

[greenminer]

I want to know what UTSA fans feel about this.

1) can they put down their bias and see where Harris belongs in the AAC QB rankings?
2) do they think Rogers got snubbed, too?
