This dates back to 1869? Ok...That's cool I guess...

With topics like these I have to look at them and realize what they really mean, which is not much. Sure it's cool for UNT, Troy, and MTSU to be ranked in Top 3 all time, but when the wins date back to 1869, it becomes a little less important. MG61, see if you can derive the following: The same chart from when the sunbelt was formed for football, and another one from when the sunbelt formed for football using only conference games (the first three may not change much, if at all, and I'd expect ASU to be a solid 4th in both).

Interesting web site. From 1909 through 1928, in the years Troy fielded a football team, were those high schools ya'll were scheduling?

Yep, Enterpise I believe. They are located between Troy, Ozark, and Dothan. Troy is 2-0 versus Enterprise High School (or possibly 0-2, not sure...)

Looks like it.

ASU played a couple of local high schools when they first started their program.

It was a pretty common scheduling practice back then. If you look at schedules around the war years in the 40's you'll see colleges scheduled games against military base teams as well.
