There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding college football, as it looks like the landscape is forever changing. The SEC is adding Texas and Oklahoma. The Big 10 has USC and UCLA as new members. We are headed towards two conferences that will be the top tier, and then everyone else.
The Sun Belt has a super conference for college football and nothing is changing.
There were several huge upsets that happened at the same conference. The Sun Belt East is also the same division. The Sun Belt West has yet to start pulling their weight, and as of now, I am not interested in them. The representative from the East will be smote in the conference championship game if that division is won.
The recruiting class of Marshall should have been ranked best in the nation by defeating Texas A&M, and Georgia Southern carried out the execution of Scott Frost, who was fired by Nebraska. Old Dominion beat Virginia Tech for the second time in five years and Georgia State narrowly lost to North Carolina. There was a state last week.
JMU, a team that was a perennial national championship contender in the FCS, and Coastal Carolina, who lost three games in the past two years, are both in this division.
What are the chances that one of these teams will represent the group of five in a New Year's Six bowl?
Houston and Cincinnati have both lost so their chances are not looking good. The Air Force of the Mountain West is the most likely team.
Air Force is favored in every game this season, and if they are able to run the table, they would be the choice. The number 9 team was beaten by the number 10 team.
The Sun Belt has an interesting schedule, full of competition that is not as good as that of the Pacific-12, Mountain West, and SEC. They are a slight favorite this week at Oregon. In October they play at Notre Dame and then host Arkansas.
If there is any justice in the world, Marshall should be in the top 10 because they were able to get the job done. On November 12th, there would be a game on ABC.
It is similar to playing against Alabama in the National Football League. That is correct for this division. The talent in the Sun Belt East is superior to any of the other teams, so I think they will eat themselves alive as one battle between the titans leaves both teams exhausted for the next one.
Who will win the Sun Belt East and be crowned the national champion? There is a prediction I have. In their narrow 64-62 loss to North Carolina, they showed that they can win a defensive struggle and put up a lot of points.
