You can, but you'd be wrong.
North Texas lost their first ever Sun Belt Conference football game on October 6th, 2001. After that, the Mean Green went 26 straight conference games without a loss.
2001 (5) - MTSU, ASU, NMSU, ULL, Idaho
2002 (6) - ASU, ULL, ULM, Idaho, NMSU, MTSU
2003 (7) - ULL, Idaho, Utah State, MTSU, ULM, ASU, MTSU
2004 (7) - MTSU, Utah State, NMSU, ULM, ULL, Idaho, ASU
2005 (1) - MTSU
The streak ended on October 4th, 2005. For 26 consecutive games spanning 1459 days... North Texas won every single conference game.
In the history of SBC football, here are the longest conference winning streaks for each other team:
Troy - 14
ASU - 8
MTSU - 7
ULL - 6
FAU, WKU - 5
FIU, ULM - 4
Only Troy has even gotten within a dozen of the North Texas streak. No other team has even made it 1/3rd of the way there.
