According to the current Massey ratings. The Sunbelt is better than CUSA.

However, on the field, CUSA is 5-4 vs the Sunbelt.

It's not a dramatic difference.

The teams at the top of our conferences are really the most accurate measure of strength. By combining the Massey composite, you simply give more weight to the median, and not the top.

Do you see what I'm saying about giving more weight to the worst teams in a conference?

Just some fun with numbers, also proves a couple points I've been making for a long time. Getting a best of the rest conference going makes a lot of sense.

Not a knock, but UTSA a wouldn’t join this I don’t think, and they’re not needed. Give me Charlotte.

Yeah, I'm not saying that would be the conference, I'm just saying if we grouped our top 11 it would be competitive with the American.

I think you could leave about three teams off of that list, pick up another four, and it would still be a very solid conference.

I would add Charlotte to the Mix, it's s sleeping Giant will likely become the largest university in NC soon AND there's lot's of money backing this program. If you add the financial backing and the Charlotte Metro is loaded with D1 football talent it's a long term strategy to have them in conference.

I dont think this year is the year to determine that all things considering. Even the champion from this year will have an asterisk.

There will not be an asterisk for anything, whoever wins conference championships or national championships will have a well-deserved reward. Why slight those who are putting themselves on the line through all of this craziness?

If Marshall wins the conference championship, and goes undefeated there will be no asterix.

Agreed! In fact there should be a + symbol or something because of all the added bs all teams went through!

App would likely have been ranked preseason regardless of Covid-19 as team who weren’t even playing were ranked (see USC). Therefore, we would’ve been ranked regardless.
