Great showing this weekend by the Sun Belt as a whole.

Coastal over Kansas
Ark State over UNLV
App State over Charlotte
Louisiana over Liberty

We still managed to stay undefeated against the FCS'ers as well.

ULM losing to FSU in OT is a heartbreaker. I believe with how porous FSU's defense was all game, ULM could've gone for 2-PT conversion and won it. I feel bad for ULM's kicker missing that PAT.

Texas State played well against Wyoming but couldn't quite pull it out.

ULM had a very impressive game!

You can argue that this was the best week in Sun Belt football history. If ULM pulled off that win, definitely a legendary weekend. This conference is strong. [/size]

I HATE that we fooled around and lost that game. We kicked their butts after the 3rd quarter and out physicaled them. I wish we had gone for 2, but see why we didn’t. We had actually worn them down and not the opposite and I thought we had the better shot at winning in OT. We scored no problem and then miss the damn XP. Wish we had rolled Caleb out on a 2 point conversion. Hope that loss doesn’t cost us a bowl, because we have a good team. I do feel better about the Iowa St. and Memphis game and our chances. I think we get one of those. Sorry we dropped the ball. Would have been an epic weekend. SBC is tough this year.

The Belt is looking pretty tough so far this season...let's keep it going!

You can even throw in Georgia State's win over Furman. A very competitive team, with a rich FCS history. Given the letdown they probably had after last week too. The FBS league left for dead, is out performing most of the G4 leagues, and even giving the Middle 1 (AAC) a run for its money too.

Please keep your pee6 bull**** on your forum.

Second year in a row that Arkansas State beats an MW team in non-conference winning 42-17 even with giving up a garbage time TD. The last two years have been pretty decent OOC for us.

We only have 2 teams in CBS Sports 130 bottom 30.

For some reason I had flashbacks to one of App's playoff games against Illinois State. Game is 38-37, everyone assumes App is going to make the extra point to tie the game, then Illinois State breaks through and blocks it. They had come close all game and finally broke through when it mattered most.

I also figured ULM wouldn't be able to match Akers much longer in OT so they may as well go for two and put the game away right there. With the way Evans was running the ball and finding open receivers, it made sense to run a RPO with level routes to one side and an outlet looking for a hole in the zone over the middle.

Then, they shank the extra point.

You realize the MWC is outperforming the AAC right now as well? Does that make it P7?

I was listening on radio, and surely thought they would go for 2-PT with an RPO or a trick play to try and win it. I had this guy feeling he wouldn't make the PAT...

I suppose it's easy to justify that feeling in hindsight. Ultimately, the chances of the PAT being made are around 98%. I think my feeling was ULM was going to lose if they didn't go for it, and it wouldn't be ironic to me for them to miss the PAT, so I assumed that they would.

Sad way to see that game end because ULM hasn't had much to celebrate in many, many years. They are still the punchline of "Well, this team almost lost to someone from the SUN BELT CONFERENCE". App, Troy, or Louisiana wouldn't get the "But they're a Sun Belt team" treatment as badly as ULM does.

Side note: If a P5 team loses to a program from any other G5 conference, I never hear it brought up that "they lost a MAC team", or C-USA, or AAC. As soon as one of them loses to a Sun Belt program, it's almost like the Sun Belt is looked at as being on the same level as FCS.

Massey Ratings as of right now are as follows:

1. SEC
2. Big 10
3. ACC
4. Big 12
5. Pac 12
6. AAC
7. MWC
8. Sun Belt
9. FBS Indy
10. MAC
11. C-USA
    

We quadrupled CUSA's total FBS win tally in one weekend.

excuse me Memphis is playing @ South Alabama, @ UL Monroe, and has games @ Ga State and @ Ark State coming up in the next few seasons.

at least Memphis is willing to give y'all fair home-home deals and play you straight-up.

That’s nice.
I hope our ADs are in contact, I think App needs more h/h with AAC other than our upcoming series with ECU

Would rather play UCF, USF, Cincinnati, Navy, Boise State, BYU, Utah State, Houston, or SMU...

lol, we all know...don't get all mad because of a marketing campaign.

the whole 'P6' thing is simply an attempt to generate talk about the AAC (that worked fairly well), which is still a very young conference in the grand scheme of things.
