Found on the Sun Belt board. Go to the link and read on!

"It's a scandal that Middle Tennessee was allowed within 1,000 miles of a bowl game. It's a borderline scandal to begin with that the Sun Belt champion gets to play in a bowl. A team that can't win the Sun Belt isn't bowl material by a longshot. The Motor City committee said they had to take a seven win team over a few of the six-win nominees (like Kansas, for example). If that's how it works, the NCAA needs to kick the Sun Belt down to IAA. A seven-win Sun Belt team is like a three-win team in a real conference."

The best way to shut them up is to win when it counts.

If we lose, then perhaps they are right.

The burden is on us to prove our worth.

Very well stated.

No matter how much we dislike it, Travis is right. OC wins elevate the value of our confrence.

The burden IS on us to prove our worth; however, as long as the NCAA DOES acknowledge the Belt as being a IA conference, then I have problems with the Big XII continuing to get as many bowls as it does, and the money that goes with it, thus making the battle we have to fight that much harder.

I agree... it does seem like the deck is fixed. But, that is life. We don't stop trying. And when we do have the opportunity like this year with 2 SBC teams in bowls then we need to seize it.

UNT has blown it with the four consecutive bowl games and going only 1-3. Furthermore, we as a conference have to knock off the big boys every now and then. I still think Troy gets alot of respect for what they did three years ago against Missouri. We need more of that to shut 'em up, even if our mountain to climb is steeper than theirs.

If that's what he thinks of the Sunbelt then I can only imagine what he thinks of the MAC sending their 4th place team to the Poinsettia bowl?

Louisiana-Lafayette was the only SBC team to post a winning OOC record. The SBC needs to step up.

I'm still pretty upset at UAB and Vanderbilt for backing out of their games with us. Had they kept their deals with us we never would've had trips to Oklahoma and South Carolina. Think about that. I think we could've beaten both of those teams and finished with a 9-3 record. No way they'd diss a 9-3 Sun Belt team with a win against a CUSA and $EC school in the same season, but they've done it before.

Hey, these guys think the MAC and Cen. Mich. are on top if the world. Their Northern Ill. team sure looked like a bunch of hot shots last night. The MAC has some really good teams in it but most of them are on par with us(SBC) and WAC, and CUSA.

Oh yes they would. Don't forget the people that say there are too many bowl games, as if there could EVER be too much football on TV for us to watch?:no:

      McNeese State (11/18/24)

      Some have their entire college sports view shaped by the convos they get at the watercooler at work, or a small circle of bros that have been beer talkin' over the same 5 conferences (anchored in football) for 20 years. The NET, committees, and them thar advanced metrics be damned.

      Depth Chart vs ECU

      I think what Odom was running at USC was a 3-3-5 that had a “RUSH” position serving as a hybrid DE/LB lined up on the line of scrimmage, so really only 2 second level linebackers, making it similar to a 4-2-5 in effect. Different from Caponi’s 3-3-5 stack. Maybe someone like Chavez Brown could play that type of role but not exactly a lot of time to implement that level of scheme change. https://usctrojans.com/sports/2022/8/31/2022-usc-trojans-football-roster-depth-chart

      ***OFFICIAL UNT vs. UTSA IN-GAME DISCUSSION***

      Offense lacks a vertical passing game. People have raved about the top 5 offense in passing yards per game but per the NCAA website and ESPN (NCAA is more precise with some of the numbers), CM is 48th in yards per completion at 12.37 YPC, 41st in yards per attempt at 7.85 YPA, 45th in completion percentage at 63.7%, and tied for second in pass attempts at 422. The numbers show we don't push the ball downfield as much as others and that we aren't efficient enough considering how little we do that. Being top 5 in passing yards is simply a volume stat at this point. We just throw a ton. Screens are great but when it's most of what you do, it gets dicey. Those and run plays start off as negative yardage plays dependent on blocking. Can't have those every drive. About teams figuring out EM, our competition has gotten better.
