The MAC has NIU. The Sun Belt has Arkansas State. The MWC would have Fresno.
The issue is that none of those teams would accrue an SOS comparable to the SOS from the AAC champion, and that is a huge component of the committee’s consideration.

Especially if the AAC structured its divisions in such a way that they were balanced competitively and required teams to schedule 1-2 P5 opponents in the OOC.

Again, the best proof of concept is WMU last year: they snuck in only after the AAC and MWC champs had 2-3 losses.
