Louisiana seems to be out of their funk and showing they are still one of the best teams in the Conference. GS has looked impressive and have won the games in front of them, but until they beat a team better than USA I cant call them the best... The significance of them not having to play UL and stAte cannot be understated. Those two teams are head and shoulders better than any team GS has faced in conference play.

*1. Louisiana
*2-3. stAte
*3-2. Georgia Southern
The rest of the conference is a little more clear cut.
4-5t USA
5-4t TXST
6 ULM
7 App State
8 Troy
9 Idaho
10 New Mexico State
11 Georgia State

If UL and State are that good, which I have no doubt they are, we have a strong G5 conference. Going back to the last game of 2013 to today GS has competed head to head with one SEC team and two ACC teams and are unbeaten in five Sun Belt conference games.

Taking a closer look the total points scored:

GS - 87
UF, NC state, Ga Tech - 86

Five game Sun Belt Conference Total score:
GS - 214
Sun Belt - 103

Average:
GS 42.8
SB 21.6

Only Ga Tech scored more points than G State.
Thought that was interesting.

If you are going to boost on your schedule go back and look at how much of your schedule have winning records and how many of those game you won. The conference always sets use up for failure, two Tuesday night games and TxSt, Ark State and USA all in a row with no off week in between those games but like GaSo we can only play the schedule we are given.
