Based on this years poll, and last years results compared to last years preseason poll, this is how things should pan out:
1. Arkansas State - SBC Champ and NO Bowl Contender!
2. Florida Atlantic - goes BOWLING somewhere!!
3. Middle Tennessee - no bowl boys, but a nice season…
4. North Texas - SURPRISE (they flip flop with us from last year)
5. Troy - *DOH* wrong answer "MEDIA"…injury bug takes out the QB…
6. UL Monroe - ruh ro raggy…so much for that running game…
7. UL Lafayette - this is starting to get ugly…
8. FIU - no rest for the weary…and YES it is now very ugly…
Funny thing is, i can see this (results above) happening…

Sun Belt-The Toughest Conference to Predict
By Jay Brantley
Posted Jul 23, 2007
With the release of the Sun Belt preseason poll, the question remains, "Is the Sun Belt the toughest conference race to predict?".
With the Sun Belt Media Days taking place in New Orleans this week most Sun Belt fans are really starting to focus on the upcoming season. Every year brings optimism within the Sun Belt. Every fan feels that their team can take the conference championship and they have good reason to believe in their team.
In the six short years that the Sun Belt has sponsored football, six different teams (of the current eight teams in the conference) can lay claim to a share of the conference championship. North Texas has won 3 outright championships and they have been the most dominating team overall, but they have certainly slipped off the Sun Belt mountain top in the past couple of years. North Texas also split the championship in 2001 with Middle Tennessee. Middle Tennessee also claimed a share of the championship in 2006 with Troy. In 2005 Arkansas State, Louisiana-Lafayette, and Louisiana-Monroe finished in a three-way tie for the championship. The only two current teams in the Sun Belt who have not won a share of the championship are Florida Atlantic and Florida International. They happen to be the two newest members of the Sun Belt as well.
