I know that we were still in the A-Sun when we went, but the question said since football was started in 2001, and we have been to the dance since then. If we're going back to the 70s when UNT was ranked in the coaches poll, then we should be able to go back to 2003 when we were still in a different b-ball conference.
You may have been in the dance in '03 but you were not a member of the Belt which the question implied. Nice try
Well, if we're gonna
then I'm gonna have to say that your question about a Sun Belt school finishing ranked has to be eliminated. Technically, the Belt didn't start football until 2001, and y'all were not members until then.
Here's a quick rundown of your conference affiliations over the years:
1913-1924 Independent
1925-1930 Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association
1931-1948 Lone Star Conference
1949-1956 Gulf Coast Conference
1957-1974 Missouri Valley Conference
1975-1977 Division I Independent
1978-1982 Division I-A Independent
1983-1994 Southland Conference
1995-1995 Division I-A Independent
1996-2000 Big West Conference
2001-20XX Sun Belt Conference
So your ranking in the 70s was as a D-1 independent.
