Exactly! You think OU fans are rooting for Texas because it's in the same conference and vice versa. Ask any Michigan fan if they're rooting for Ohio State to win their bowl game and they'll laugh in your face.
The only problem with the statement is that unlike the schools mentioned above, the Sun Belt is still not view as such a strong conference. So even thought I hate FIU, I hope that they preform well in their bowl game along with the other Sun Belt Teams competing. With all of this conference shifting you never know but it might make sense to stay put as long as we have viable teams competing. If the Sun Belt gets overlooked and the other mid conferences get eaten up and left for dead we might be sitting pretty.

Agree with this.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

…as bad as it sounds, we really do need to route for the belt, it does make us look better and it will be talked about. The Sun Belt can win the ESPN award for conference with most bowl wins they always talk about during bowl season. Plus, it would be wins against the MAC & CUSA to already go with our MWC win, all conferences we can/are be better than.

Make a statement for the Belt, GO FIU, GO stAte, GO BELT… but always GO OWLS!!!!

Re: Congrats to the Cajuns

I'll root for Ark State but I'm sorry I can't root for FIU. Even if we go 3-0 in Bowls we will still be ranked as the worst division I conference. Nothing is going to change that unless we start to get teams ranked or start beating ranked and BCS teams on a more consistent basis. If we have 3 teams in bowl games every season and we have multiple teams with 7-8 wins every season then we'll get respect. One season of getting 3 teams in a bowl game isn't going to change anything.

It's not going to be the Sunbelt is the worst division in college football in 2011 but hey they won all their bowl games that season so lets rank them ahead of the Mac and CUsa in 2012.

So with that said LET'S GO MARSHALL!!!!

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

However this is now the 2nd year weve had 3 teams bowling, and we actually had 4 elligible. If all 3 win thier bowl games people WILL take notice. They already have to a degree. In the ESPN rank the confrence section we have been above the Mac and WAC all year. The tide is changing on SunBelt perception.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I will root for stAte and I strongly rooted for the Cajuns but I don't care what the logic is I am not rooting for FIU.

And with us ranked behind CUSA, every win helps. The Sun Belt is 5-2 against CUSA this year, a win tonight will make it 6-2, that's a hell of a statement that we can dominate CUSA.
