- We don't win the Sun Belt (~75%)
- We share the title and don't go to the New Orleans Bowl (~15%)
- We share the title but go to the New Orleans Bowl (~7%)
- We win the title outright (~3%)
Lets look at the composite conference schedule and decide which games are needed, which are helpful, and which kill us.

This season is not done but or shot at the title is gone. Good teams would have to do very poorly for us to get it. Let's not be delusional here.
Best case scenario is that we win out and end up 8-5. We'd be bowl eligible and may qualify for one of those other SBC bowls.
Still, I wouldn't hold your breath. We barely beat WKU. We should down UNT however the rest of the games will be challenges. If we can't cut out penalties, turnovers and drops in the endzone, we may very well end up 3-9.

I wouldn't mind that. We've conquered New Orleans. Time for a new city.

Re: Path to the Sun Belt Championship (for us)
What year are you talking about?
Please do not think it is this year. We need better things for the SBC. If we win, the SBC will lose the credibilty they gained last year. We need to take it on the chin this year and regroup for next year.
Love the Owls, but this is not going to be our year. We will not finish 8-5 (as suggested), we only play 12 games. We have not shown we can beat anyone of consequence.
I have to agree with F_O on the pigs flying photo. Let's support our Owls as always, but please do not think that we are in any position to win the conference. If we are then we have a very sad conference.
