New Orleans Bowl is always Sunbelt #1 vs CUSA 4-5 I believe.
The Sunbelt also entered into agreements with 3 other bowls to be the fill in if another confrence cannot meet its obligations. So the possiblity is there for up to 4 Belt teams to to go bowls. (Not going to happen)
We were pretty confident of another championship, right up unitll the point our defense took the field and stunk up the joint. If the D can get its crap together we do stand a very good chance of winning the Belt. Troy will be tough as well as MTSU, they will BOTH be up for our games agaisnt them. Especially TROY since we took the Bowl out from under them last year.
Top competition in the Belt is
FAU
TROY
Middle Tennesee State University
Middle of the pack is Arkansas State U (although they have looked VERY impressive) and University Louisianna (SP?) Monore (Damn near bet Arkansas this week).
After that its ULL, North Texas and FIU with FIU being one of the worst teams in Div 1A right now.
Western Kentucky will be a full DIV1a member next year so they arent elligible for a bowl game or championshihp this year.
Still very possible but not unless the D comes together.
