Here is how the SBC finished by rank:

63. Troy
64. Florida Atlantic
85. Arkansas State
92. Louisiana
97. Middle Tennessee
101. Louisiana-Monroe
102. Florida International
119. North Texas

CUSA actually had more teams in the Bottom 20 than the Sun Belt with SMU, Tulane, UCF, UAB, and Marshall in there.

Very nice,

Lets try to do better against CUSA next year. We owned the MAC this year.

Troy plays Bowling Green and UAB, so hopefully Troy can start out 1-0 against the MAC and 1-0 against CUSA. FAU gets to try to beat UAB again next season too.

I would like to see the top teams ranked higher. I still feel there is a lot of bias built into these things. How can our top two teams be in the 60's? Winnning will solve this, but it will take a lot of it.

Despite being a rabid Owl fan, Id have to say FAU is right were it belongs ranking wise. We were the 4th place team and were fortunate to get a bowl and win it. I think our previous rank BEFORE the bowl game was 86th.

Troy probably should of been higher and if they had won thier Bowl I would of imagined they'd of wound up in the 50's.

Not sure if ANY Sunbelt team will get respect untill we consistently win confrence AND take out a few of the money game teams.
