I think we win a close high scoring game. 
38 Liberty
35 CCU
Coastal Carolina isn't 9-0 yet but they do play in the pillow soft Sun Belt so they'll likely beat Texas State tomorrow.
CCU keeps winning so kudos to them but I think they are vastly overrated. I guess we'll see but I think we should win.
And yet their rpi is #19. Yours is #34. Seems like you are nearly twice as soft. Pride comes before the fall.
Well I guess that's it. No point in playing since we are worse in RPI.
I'm so sick of other fans who complain about us being excited about our team. This is our board so expect us to be excited and if you don't like it, you can kindly leave. You complain about us coming to your board and being respectful but trashing your conference on our board. Do you want us to trash your conference over on your board? When 90% of your conference is trash, don't expect rainbows and butterflies from an outsider. Besides, your conference members all hate each other anyways so we fit right in.
Sorry if we have better aspirations a conference who fights for the worst G5 position annually (C-USA, Sun Belt, or MAC). At least the MAC had Northern Illinois and Western Michigan get BCS/NY6 bowls.
If people want ro come here and be respectful, awesome! We welcome and encourage you! If not, I don't understand the purpose of going somewhere just to troll and trash the home team but I guess people will do whatever to make them feels superior even if they only come across as desperate and pathetic.
I come to check out the Coastal conversation, however I feel like defending the " Sun Belt pillow soft" comment you made earlier. I dont feel l'm knocking Liberty accomplishment this season, by highlighting the Sun Belt aint as soft as you want us to believe, if you know what im saying. Hope you guys have a great week of banter with CCU.
Sun Belt Non-Conference Games:
South Alabama over Southern Miss
ULL over Iowa State
Arkansas State over Kansas State
App State over UNC-Charlotte
Georgia Southern over Campbell
Coastal Carolina over Kansas
Coastal Carolina over Campbell
Troy over Middle Tennessee
App State over Campbell
Georgia State over ECU
Arkansas State over Central Arkansas
Troy over Eastern Kentucky
Georgia Southern over UMass
ULL over UAB
SMU over Texas State
Memphis over Arkansas State
Army over ULM
UTSA over Texas State
Tulane over South Alabama
Marshall over App State
UAB over South Alabama
BYU over Troy
UTEP over ULM
Boston College over Texas State
Liberty over ULM
BYU over Texas State
Army over Georgia Southern
Middle Tennessee over Georgia Southern
14 wins, 14 losses. Overall, .500 but 5 wins were over FCS teams (some were real nail biter and I'm not including UMass). Loses to UTSA, UTEP, and Middle Tennessee look bad. Iowa State is the only impressive win, with Kansas State being solid but I would expect more from a 10-team conference with up to 4 non-conference games. Arkansas State being Kansas State and has since crapped the bed the rest of the year.
Am I missing something? Just going by percentages, the Sun Belt is 9-14 against FBS competition with a 4-5 record against C-USA. That doesn't scream good, or even so-so, thus the "pillow soft" comment. Maybe I'm exaggerating some but I don't think there is a credible argument that the conference has had a great non-conference year.
