None are a whole lot higher, but still, I'd say the fact that five teams are higher is significant.

You might want to check head to head records between SBC ands CUSA between 2000 and 2010, and then 2011 to 2017.

From Jeremy Wise before we crushed North Texas:

"Conference USA was 33-14 in the 2000s against the Sun Belt – which formed as a football league in 2001. In the 2010s, the Sun Belt has closed the gap – entering Saturday’s action 22-24 against its rival." We've been gaining ground for a while, and with the new coaching hires, and the loss of Idaho and New Mexico State, we should be even stronger.

The "gap" between the SBC is inconsequential. We had dozens of UNT fans saying that Troy's stats didn't matter because we played "inferior competition". Well, they got #funbelt'd. GSU and WKU, had equal records and GSU came away with a 10 point win in a game that wasn't even that close. FAU is carrying your league right now, and you guys need to admit the decline is real.

Also, you can't use the words "only slightly" and then follow it up with "significant". Those ideas are not compatible.

Who are you quoting? Me or the LT fan? You replied to me, but took out what I actually wrote.
