Who will be the conference champs this year?

I just can't name anyone at this time who would replace them at the top. I'd love it to be us. But our defense is way too suspect at this point. Troy is down this year. Middle Tenn. already lost to the Mean Green. Maybe Ark. State or FL Atlantic. They've shown some signs of competitiveness. But neither appears strong enough to go through conference unscathed. I really think it's a toss-up. Whoever has the ball bounce their way has a good chance to win the Sun Belt this year.

I agree. This year we could see the winner with 2 conference losses and they go to the bowl game due to a tie-breaker. If our defense can pony up some more, I think we have the horses to surprise a lot of teams in the conference.

I think North Texas has shown itself otherwise.

Wonder why the poll does not include the Ragin "Sexy" Cajuns. Oh! I forgot, they are at the bottom of the Sun Belt standings
