Um... Build the Belt?? :rolleyes:

Even sadder than the SBC's pitiful showing is that 2 BCS conferences(ACC and Big East) finished below 2 non AQ conferences(WAC and MWC) :lol:

We'll the WAC is on a death watch and the Sun Belt whip the MAC's hind end in the bowl games, so I wouldn't put too much credit in to this poll.

For all of the conference reallignment gurus: http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/16069/sec-tops-final-conference-power-rankings

Here's the order:

SEC

Pac-10

Big 12

Big Ten

WAC

MWC

ACC

Big East

C-USA

MAC

Sun Belt

I just don't understand this. When will the national media realize that the Belt is a powerhouse?

Until then I will never, ever, pay attention to these espn "experts".

Long live the Belt!

Not the order I would have put them in. Personally, I think at worst the Sun Belt and MAC should have tied for the bottom spot.

MAC perception is better because there seems to be more MAC teams on TV yr in/yr out. A lot of that has to do with the success Marshall had and their willingness to play on Tues/Wed/Thurs nights in order to get airtime on ESPN or ESPN2. Seems other MAC schools caught on and got creative with their scheduling to accomodate Disney's schedule.

Lifer is correct, Belt owned the MAC in bowl games this yr. WAC is on a super nova burnout as soon as Boise leaves. Time to get back to the cream of the belt and start changing our conferences perception via our own play and own OOC wins. I'd like to be the reason people take notice of the 'Belt and leave it in better shape than we found it.

You must not watch college football. Its called strength of schedule. If Boise or TCU played Miami, Florida State, Clemson, Boston College, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech or North Carolina, they wouldn't have the records or rankings that they did. next statement.

Nevermind the fact that TCU went 2 - 0 vs the ACC last year (including the atlantic division champ) or that Boise beat the ACC champ this year...

Funny. That's what Ohio State said before TCU beat Wisconsin, the only team to beat OSU this season. What else ya got there, Gordon Gee?

I disagree. As does the author of the article. You posed a question, I replied with an answer. I thought my question was valid, and you provided no answer.

Looking at the final BCS rankings: the MWC and WAC both had teams finish higher in the rankings, both had a top 10 team 2 yrs in a row, and both teams were ranked respectively higher than the ACC's 2 top 25 BCS rated teams. Pretty much sums it up. And if memory serves correct, the BCS does factor in Strength of Schedule, correct? So a 1 loss Boise ST team is still significantly better than an 11-3 Virginia Tech team with an 8-0 conference record. If the ACC's so tough, how'd your conference champ go 8-0 in conference play, the gauntlet, then go 5-3 OOC with losses to James Madison (seriously?), Boise St in Maryland (essentially a home game) and then steam rolled by Stanford in their bowl game?

TCU and Boise have stood up to the occasion multiple times. PROPS :goodjob: There is no way in hell that if TCU goes into the ACC right now that they dont lose 3 maybe 4 games. They do not have the depth. If they lost one key player its season over. As we watched happen to UofH. Every team in the ACC has the best athletes in the country on the field and the back up players in the ACC are better then most of the starters in the mountain west.

Uof H isn't even on the same planet as TCU.

The ACC champion lost to James Madison , a team that went 3 - 5 in the Colonial conference

If you want to say TCU,Boise would lose 3/4 games in the SEC then I would agree , but the ACC... please

You can't say that with certainty. Both of those schools play those "big schools" in OOC and routinely beat them. Maybe they would go winless in the SEC, maybe they wouldn't. There is NO way to tell for sure.

Yes, the ACC has struggled against the FCS Colonial Conference lately. Still, I think it was probably true last year what people were saying about the Big East being the weakest among the AQ conferences. What the ACC schools need to realize when they schedule against the Colonial Conference is not to be overconfident; as Virginia Tech and Virginia learned the hard way.

      Finalizing the Roster

      per 24/7...Jossell and Floyd both committed on 4/24...Atin Wright on 4/26...Newell on 5/5...Lorient on 5/9. most of our key departures had committed elsewhere a bit earlier...Jones 4/19...Edwards and Noland 4/21...Scott 4/24...so maybe a part of the delay was Hodge still recruiting our guys into possibly staying before we locked up our transfers...part though is certainly that we're not at the top of queue. just do a quick scroll down the portal commits so far and it's 80% or so top programs.

      2025 Roster Construction

      you keep saying two different things. no one is arguing that we don't need an experienced Jr/Sr lead guard (two, really), ideally that are slotting in as the starting PG and SG next season. and guess what? we still have SIX scholarships to hand out in order to land those guards. but carrying an entire 13 man roster of Jr/Sr transfers just doesn't work with the reality of team construction, for a variety of reasons I've already laid out elsewhere. it seems everyone has formed absolute opinions based solely on two seasons of Ross Hodge as if there aren't dozens of ways to construct a winning roster. there is no guarantee that every transfer that walks in here will be better than Stevenson, Stinson or Horton. we have a pretty exciting group of underclassmen currently and a new coach who has shown he's willing to play talented freshmen and sophomores. hit the panic button if our next three signees are true freshmen, but until then calm the eff down.

      House v. NCAA settlement: Approval awaits in landmark case as judge digs in on roster limits

      Good point, I wouldn’t give to NIL if my $ was being redistributed to athletes at other schools. Don’t know if it is part of this proposal, but would be hard for a program to agree to share concession sales, ticket sales and local advertising sales with other schools. Some sort of model that shared 50% of national broadcast rights with athletes could work. I also have a hard time with the morality of using student fees to pay a small forward. And any model that doesn’t use student fees to pay a small forward will leave UNT behind.

      2025 Roster Construction

      UCONN won it last year, right? 14 total on that roster, 9 of them being Fr/Sophs. Husky starting 5 in the natty game (2024) Forward (R-Soph) Center (Soph) Guard (Fr) Guard (Graduate) Guard (Graduate) 2 graduates started the natty game, both guards. The 3rd guard was a freshman and had 15 points and like 5 rebounds. 2023 was more uppclass heavy, but still had a freshman guard score 16 in the natty game. I think experience and age is preferred, especially at the guard position, but I would never consider a recent HS grad a hard no. You can find guys out there that will ball at our level, and get you championships. I don't think development is nearly as a big of an issue as it is in football.
