We are not in the bottom 20, the list came out today and only ASU is in 110-101.

Here is the breakdown of number 120-101 as it pertains to the SBC.

120--FIU
116--WKU
115--UNT
112--ULM
106--ASU

Others of note:
CUSA Members
110--RIce
109--SMU
107--Tulane
114--UAB

Former Conference Mates:
119--Idaho
118--Utah State
109--Northern Illinois
104--San Jose State
103--New Mexico State

Scheduled Opponents 2008 (not SBC members)
113--Kent State


Louisiana no where to find in the bottom 20. Others not yet mentioned from the SBC:

FAU, Middle and Troy. Worst case senario--Rivals has us to finish in the top 4 in the SBC. I think it will be broken out like this.

#1 FAU
#2 TROY
#3 Middle
#4 UL
#5 ASU
#6 ULM
#7 UNT
#8 WKU
#9 FIU

My predicted order of finish:

#1 FAU
#2 UL
#3 Troy
#4 ASU
#5 Middle
#6 ULM
#7 WKU (transitional member)
#8 UNT
#9 FIU

Both UL and FAU qualify for a bowl game, UL only gets in if something happens with the major conferences not qualifying enough teams.

Iwas kind of surprised to see UAB and Kent St. down there, I saw their record last year warranted it but weren't both those bowl teams a few years ago?

[cajun4life]

I will jump for joy if we finish the year bowl eligable. I think we will finish the season with an 8-4 record if things go our way, if they do not then we will be 4-8.

So, what number is UL?

I'm almost afraid to ask but did anyone check the D1aa Bottom 10?
