That list over there is in chronological order, and there's nowhere near enough room for the history that accumulates in half a century (couldn't even get to the Newcastle Knights and Newcastle Jets from my decade in Oz), hence the ellipses (..). Since I grew up in Central Ohio, I was cheering for the Reds and Buckeyes before I even went to college, at a MAC school, but I live in northeast Ohio now, and so cheer for the local team, which is in the MAC.

As far as why a fan of a MAC school is involved in a discussion started by another MAC fan of another MAC school that compared CUSA and Sunbelt in the Sunbelt forum, rather than in the conference realignment forum ... because that's where it was posted.

Fixed the reference to the numbers, I got the two different WKU fans angry at people noticing the narrowing gap between the Sunbelt and CUSA confused.



Using WKUYG's approach of toting how many schools on each side have so many wins or more, using all the information there, except not counting FCS wins (because that's silly) and using the average 2012/2013 instead of cherry picking 2013:

9+ win teams: 0 CUSA, 2 SBC
8+ win teams: 2 CUSA, 2 SBC
7+ win teams: 7 CUSA, 3 SBC
6+ win teams: 8 CUSA, 3 SBC

... its only when you get down into the .600 and .500 records that CUSA does better than the SBC.

So the argument that the Sunbelt supporters have made in this thread that the gap has narrowed even seemed to be supported by the facts that were presented to contradict that argument ... once the biased cherry picking of the original analysis is corrected for.
