Sun Belt. Two best teams, North Texas and Middle Tennessee State, play at LSU and at Alabama, respectively, in paycheck games Sept. 3. That will be a good barometer.

Sun Belt. The plucky little league has made two improvements: Members have stopped scheduling eight road games, and the Belt has closed down its Rocky Mountain Bureau, settling more sensibly into the Southeast. Still waiting for someone to dethrone North Texas.

while there seems to between some disparity between which conference among the MWC, CUSA, WAC and MAC is best, both writers agree, Sun Belt is the bottom feeder. Still think this could change if Troy continues to be a player, FAU becomes a contender and MTSU ever does anything with all the "talent" they allegedly recruit year in and year out. We need to become a top 25 program and need someone else to step up with us before the SBC ever gets any street cred.

It will take more OOC wins like Troy's over Mizzou for this conference to get credibility and more respect. We need to "walk the walk".

We opened a Florida Office instead. (Sidenote: Rocky Mountains are closer to NT than Miami).

I dont really see how adding the Florida schools will help us in recruiting. It will help FIU, FAU, Troy, and MTSU.
