The 2011-12 bowl season starts this Saturday with a triple-header of games that will end with another Sun Belt Conference team playing in the New Orleans Bowl.

Louisiana-Lafayette will try to use the home state advantage when it faces Mountain West member San Diego State in the nightcap.

This is the second consecutive season that three SBC squads will play in a bowl game, the most ever in the conference’s short history.

Since becoming a football conference in 2001, the SBC has had its ups and downs in terms of the quality of the product on the field.

Across the nation, the conference has been used as a punching line for BCS schools wanting to schedule an easy victory.

Also, most of those same experts believe out of the 11 conferences in the Football Bowl Subdivision, the SBC is the worse.

For a time that was true, and that attitude still prevails in some part of the country.

However, the SBC is beginning to make strides in all areas of the sport and has caught and passed some of those other conferences that have been around longer.

Right now, times are changing in terms of conference realignment.

funny article coming from the Raiders considering they were the one team who lost last year in the bowl games and to a MAC team no less, so a little hypocritical for them to say the Sun Belt needs to for image when they blew their chance last year. :notfair:
