This usually comes back to the board every year, so I checked it out and they don't have 2009 teams to do the simulations so I couldn't run FAU v. UL but I did find some interesting things.

With this they have every team play every other team 100 times then find out how each conference would be ranked and the Sun Belt is ranked 10th ahead of the MAC and the last place CUSA….not bad!

With this they rank every team, again having every team play every other 100 times, and the result is that we come out at 103rd (could be worse) and below are all the Sun Belt teams.
