Does anyone really pass the eye test at this point? All teams seem to have a few warts. Troy seems to be looking the best at the moment.

Defense wins championships. Troy has it, for now.

While the East seems to be a slugfest where any team can win on any given week. The West seems to be getting much more in focus to me.

2. USA (LW1)
3. Coastal (LW 3)
4. Louisiana (LW6)
t5. GS (LW 9)
t5. App St (LW t7)
7. ODU (LW 5)
8. Marshall (LW 14)

14. stAte (LW 13)

West teams in Red

Troy does for me. Marshall and Coastal not so much unfortunately... But at the same time I'd have a hard time criticizing anyone's rankings really. So many teams are really tough to place.

Troy
USA
Coastal
Then everyone else.

Troy is ranked 31st in the AP poll if you count the other receiving votes category.

Nice! It's awesome to see a two loss SBC team still receiving votes along with a decent amount of time left for you to keep climbing if you keep winning. That's exactly what we need with the way this conference is gonna beat up on each other most years.

Not really any chances left for Troy wins that'll look very impressive from the outside at this point until the CCG. But I think Troy and App State likely win out and if so then it seems likely Troy is ranked going in to the CCG. Will be interesting to see if three loss App State can climb back up to receiving votes by then as well... That is if I'm right about them winning out of course.

2-11. Put everybody but Troy, stAte, ULM, and TxSt in a bag and shake them up
12-14. Put Texas State, Arkansas State and ULM in a bag and shake them up

^ this. Honestly you can probably still put us in that 2-11 bag.

5 more weeks to go, but Troy, if you guys find your way to the CCG do you still want to get another shot at App State if we get lucky enough to get there? I'll bet you do...

I know I do and want to beat the brakes off you guys. Im still pissed about it and if it weren’t for that one play, it’s likely we would be ranked right now. I’m sure our players want you guys again the same way Georgia wanted another shot at Alabama last season and got it in the Natty. It’s difficult to beat a team twice in once season.

If Troy wins out, no doubt they would be ranked for the CCG. Troy would be #31 in the AP poll right now.

I'm keeping my hopes up for GS winning the East. The adjustments I saw in the ODU game showed how truly versatile this team is at this point in the season, even with one of our top WRs injured.

We're going to be nothing if our offense doesn't improve fast.

Just a fun little stat to throw out there. 5 of the top 25 rush defenses are in the SBC

TBD. You guys have to show up to Boone when you’re scheduled before I can confirm.

Texas State one of them?

My super duper accurate computer rankings:
1) Troy 6.126
2) ODU 5.673
3) JMU 5.627
4) Coastal 5.293
5) UL 5.270
6) USA 5.241
7) App 5.050
8) USM 4.785
9) GATA 4.715
10) GSU 4.466
11) Marshall 4.128
12) stAte 3.567
13) ULM 1.980
14) Texas St 1.287

Only conference games and scores go into the calculations. I;d drop ODU and UL if I were ranking these based off gut, while raising App and USA. But the computer says what the computer says.

Nope. They are #42. Louisiana is #37. Of the 5 teams in the top 25, 4 of those are in the top 12!
