First off, how quality of a product is the Sun Belt Conference this year? There are 9 teams with winning records at this point. I truly feel with the footprint of this conference, the SBC could really take off and become the premier G5 conference moving forward. Second, why is Liberty not being invited? They have become a solid program and have great facilities. Seems like it would be a great natural fit...why no talk of any kind of addition there?

Teams with winning records:

Coast Carolina 6-1
Troy 6-2
James Madison 5-2
South Alabama 5-2
GA Southern 5-3
Southern Miss 5-3
Appalachian St 4-3
Marshall 4-3
Lousiana 4-4

**Liberty 7-1**

Not to worry, we hired one of us. At least he finally settled on playing 1 quarterback by week 6. Even if it was only due to injury.

About 7 years ago, I thought the Sun Belt would dissolve like we’re seeing with other conferences. Now they’re becoming the premier G5 conference. The people in charge of that conference did a damn good job of preserving and making the conference better.

You pump this quarterly. What is the obsession with the Fun Belt?

The only problem they have is that they are all at the same level so making a NY6 bowl will be a disaster for that league.

The AAC isn't as deep, but the top teams going forward are REALLY going to run away and win 10-12 games a year.

They actually should send invites to ECU and maybe even Tulane (this would triple down on rivalries). Make those schools say no.

When the expanded playoffs begin, they will grow stronger.

Expedite the collapse of CUSA, then try and set up Pro/Rel with the SEC.

SunBelt will split sooner rather than later. Those eastern schools hate anything close to the Mississippi River!!
