1.Who will lead the conference in attendance in '09 ?

I'm going to have to go with MTSU. Getting an SEC team at home, especially one close by in Mississippi State is going to be a big draw. Then there is the home game with in-state rival Memphis that will bring a ton of people too. Plus, with the excitement of Tony Franklin bringing his offense mixed in with the fact that this MTSU team is supposed to be an experienced group... MTSU should have the best attendance average at the end of the season.

2. How many bowl eligible teams (lets use 7 or more wins) will the conference have in '09 ?

I feel like there will be 2 or 3.

3. Will the conference have more that one team goin' bowlin' in '09 ?

If there is another team with 7 or more wins in the conference, yes it's likely.

4. Will the conference surpass the MAC in conference ratings in '09 ?

I feel like it should without a doubt.

5. Will the conference have more wins over BCS teams than CUSA ? MAC ? WAC ?

I don't think the SBC will have more BCS wins than CUSA. I think the SBC will have more BCS wins than the MAC and possibly the WAC.

1.Who will lead the conference in attendance in '09 ?
UL will. Southern University and K-State to open the season; should have 30,000+ at each game. Plus other home games against Troy and Monroe will help keep the average up.

2. How many bowl eligible teams (lets use 7 or more wins) will the conference have in '09 ?
2- Troy and ??? hopefully us!

3. Will the conference have more that one team goin' bowlin' in '09 ?
Yes

4. Will the conference surpass the MAC in conference ratings in '09 ?
Yes

5. Will the conference have more wins over BCS teams than CUSA ? MAC ? WAC ?
No. We tend to play more upper tier BCS schools, while the MAC, CUSA, and WAC play lower tier BCS schools. I definitely see the SBC getting one or two BCS wins this year

1.Who will lead the conference in attendance in '09 ?

MTSU or ULL! They have a great home schedule.

2. How many bowl eligible teams (lets use 7 or more wins) will the conference have in '09 ?

I'll go with 3! TROY, MTSU, ASU. FAU could be the fourth.

3. Will the conference have more that one team goin' bowlin' in '09 ?

Yes, TROY and MTSU are most likely. ASU and FAU if they get an invite.

4. Will the conference surpass the MAC in conference ratings in '09 ?

Yes, huge strides will be made this year in the Belt.

5. Will the conference have more wins over BCS teams than CUSA ? MAC ? WAC ?

No, we play the top teams from the BCS conferences. If we would play the middle to bottom teams then yes.

Bowling Green, UAB and Memphis aren't BCS conference teams. He was talking about the big six conferences. You Troy fans will try to sneek one in any time you get a chance.

Again, Memphis doesn't count as a BCS win. I thought Troy fans were smarter than this.
