Sun Belt Update

The Sun Belt is up against it this week… to put it mildly….  Troy is at Mississippi State (SEC), Louisiana Lafayette travels to Stillwater to challenge Oklahoma State (Big 12), Western Kentucky heads over to Lexington to battle Kentucky (SEC), Arkansas State flies to Lincoln, Nebraska (Big Ten) to face an angry bunch of Huskers, Louisiana Monroe is on their way to Auburn, (SEC) Alabama at the writing of this blog to face the Tigers….. who are fresh off a loss to Mississippi State, North Texas is heading to Kansas where in all likelihood…. a house will land on them… also known as Kansas State (Big 12), Florida Atlantic is headed north to Georgia (SEC), and finally… not to be outdone…. South Alabama has decided in their first year as an FBS team…. its time to take on NC State (ACC) ….again…. they actually played them a year ago! Of the 10 teams in the SBC… 8 of them are playing AQ Conference teams… only Florida International University (FIU) at University of Central Florida (UCF) (C-USA) and Middle Tennessee is at Memphis (C-USA). It is worth noting not one of these teams is at home…. all ten SBC games are on the road.
