I believe there are a lot of parallels between the Sun Belt and the SEC from tight geography, to the respect/hate relationship a lot of us have for each other, to the acronym…

What SEC program do you think is the best relative equivalent to yours (or others, go nuts)? Look at it from a “this year” perspective or a historical one.

+10000

Vanderbilt

App = Tennessee

I feel like Troy’s would be Alabama, but on a far smaller scale. We’ve been playing football for over 100 years. We were once mascoted as the Red Wave. We have a long tradition of success winning many conference championships, and a few national championships at lower divisions. And clearly our color scheme is similar. If only our fan base was as large and loyal.

Auburn. We've had some really good years and won a few conference titles, but also put our fan base on a roller coaster to nowhere a lot, and have too many bad years intermixed with the good. Often times if we're not the champion, the champion is one of our fierce rivals.

Well, Troy struck first. But thanks for thinking of us, Arkansas.

Troy can't beat Arkansas, Arkansas hasn't won a thing. Troy has.

One of you is Alabama and the other is LSU.

ULL is Ole Miss, App is Tennessee, Coastal is Missouri. Georgia Southern is Florida Georgia State is Kentucky Southern Miss is Mississippi State

Marshall is Arkansas. Please pay attention.

Hope no one bit.

Think I’ll peak between my fingers as I scroll the rest of this…

If you have won the conf. you are/were in you can't be the pigs. They have never won the SEC and as long as bama, auburn, LSU, georgia, Florida and others are in it they wont. Same with the Mississippi schools.

I will give them credit, they aren't that stupid.

ODU is … psssh, Boston College? We probably are the least SECian school in the mix. I was going to say Missouri but I think more people know we’re in the SBC than remember Mizz still isn’t in the Big 12 still.

I think ODU would be closest to South Carolina or Kentucky.

I mean, I could start another JMU deserves bowl eligibility if you’d rather beat that dead horse again.

How about just participating in a fun thought experiment instead of poo-pooing.

Georgia Southern is Mississippi State. Good every now and again but not built for sustained excellence.

If we're being honest, I think Marshall is very much like South Carolina.

Will pop off a decent bowl team every now and then, but for the most part we live off of our glorious past like South Carolina under the Steve Spurrier years, Marshall under the Bobby Pruitt led years

I could see some Florida in App St as much as I hate admitting that. At least before Florida turned into a dumpster fire .

Dominate team in the 2000s with an extremely unique and dynamic QB, winning multiple titles.
