Arkansas ST = five the last four with several 6-6 so better than it sounds.

Louisiana = six last four so hot at the moment with a conference leading four bowl wins.

ULM = one winning season one bowl loss

NMSU = two no bowl games

Idaho = four with three coming the first four years in FBS eighteen years total two bowl wins.

Troy = seven in fifteen years five bowl games leads conference with ARK ST two bowl wins tied for second.

Seems like it almost better to be a new to FBS program in this conference.
Texas ST ,Georgia Southern ,Appalachian ST ,South Alabama are contenders only Georgia ST has had growing pains.

Troy has had 7 winning seasons, 2, 6-6 seasons and 5 losing seasons, with 3 coming in the last 4 years

Troy has been FBS 14 years not 15

2001-2003 Troy was independent

thanks the site was a little confusing or print a little small I should say.
Either way Troy has been the most consistent.

I imagine if C-USA would have raided the SBC now with the former membership intact
ULL and Ark ST would be picked.

They probably had a two year feeling out period so the decision would have been 2011 or 2012 at the latest.

So the current winning season streaks and totals were less impressive.

Kinda like the Big Ten passing on Missouri and then they win the SEC East almost right away.

I bet money neither of those two would be the first choice.

I have no idea what this means but winning the conference did not get easier when teams left for CUSA. The new members have been competitive much faster than the old ones were when they first moved up and that includes non-conference (excluding Troy of course who came out of the gate like Ga So.).

If anything, we've proven that its actually a little bit easier for an outgoing SBC to compete in CUSA, as UNT went from near bottom SBC to Near Top CUSA in one year.

Id bet a lot of dough south Al would get picked over troy

Idaho - We either do well, or really bad. Is a mediocre season too much to ask for?

Looking forward to being back on the right side of history.

Clearly.

But I'm not betting on that.

I bet USA gets picked over EVERYONE in this conference .

Unfortunately, the 10 years before that were pretty grim. But I would rather have our success be bunched in the present/recent past than have the opposite situation where we were successful 20-10 years ago but horrible now.

who wouldn't ?

Look at NIU lost something like thirty games in a row once now pretty impressive .
The people in key positions changed not the school recruiting area whatever irrelevant reason is given for success. The opposite can also happen with a couple bad hires. Alabama can buy out expensive contracts and offer a great coach the moon . This level is a little more hit or miss .

Yes, UL was horrible for 10 years because of 1 bad coaching hire.

Paying $1 million a year salary, doubling our budget in 5 years, $115 million facility upgrade, recruiting hotbed and a coach finally showing you can recruit and win here...all increases chances of hitting not missing on the next hire. It could still happen but we building a place that is attractive to good young coaches.
