Interesting that Marshall and Southern Miss would leave C-USA for Sun Belt. May be that Sun Belt has passed C-USA? Couldn't say one way or another. 

If teams are leaving to go to another conference, then yes, the destination conference has surpassed the departing conference.

Especially when you consider that Southern Miss was one of the founding members of Conference USA.

It's not ideal for all sports though. SunBelt has no Lacrosse and Field Hockey, for example.

Neither does Conference USA for that matter.

If this happens, I'll be happy. Don't see us in FCS for too much longer and this makes total geographical sense 

If the Sunbelt was to pull this off, they would arguably jump up to the second best G5 conference

West teams

  • Arkansas State
  • Louisiana-Lafayette
  • Louisiana-Monroe
  • South Alabama
  • Southern Miss
  • Texas State
  • Troy

 

American Athletic Conference would be (after the Big XII raid)

  • East Carolina
  • Memphis
  • Navy
  • SMU
  • South Florida
  • Temple
  • Tulane
  • Tulsa

 

Conference USA would be (after the Sun Belt raid)

  • Charlotte
  • Florida Atlantic
  • Florida International
  • Louisiana Tech
  • Middle Tennessee State
  • North Texas
  • Rice
  • UAB
  • UTEP
  • UTSA
  • Western Kentucky

 

Mid-American Conference (unchanged)

  • Akron
  • Ball State
  • Bowling Green
  • Buffalo
  • Central Michigan
  • Eastern Michigan
  • Kent State
  • Miami (OH)
  • Northern Illinois
  • Ohio
  • Toledo
  • Western Michigan

 

Mountain West Conference (unchanged; only one that could keep pace)

  • Air Force
  • Boise State
  • Colorado State
  • Fresno State
  • Hawai'i
  • Nevada
  • New Mexico
  • San Diego State
  • San Jose State
  • UNLV
  • Utah State
  • Wyoming

 

If the Sunbelt really wanted to go for it, they could also extend an invite to East Carolina/South Florida and Memphis and kill off the American altogether.

Mountaineers tried their very best to Giants that game to VT, but VT has the most inept, paycheck stealing OC in Power 5 football. 

Unfortunately, we did not have a "errant asteroid" scenario that would have taken care of two problem simultaneously.

Oh for Sure! I posted that post when WVU was up by two scores with like 4 or 5 min left & then you all almost came back and won & made me look like an idiot - not the first time - bc of bad offensive play calling under 5 min - like the WFT/Scotty Turner - and Dogee sucks!

They have Leddie Brown, just run the ball! Run the clock out & take the W! Why are you throwing a screen pass??

Thankfully WVU’s D is awesome & one of the best in the country & they secured the W.

Don’t look now but the QB everyone loved to hate int he draft - Mac Jones - is 10/11 for 74 yards w/ the Patriots up 10-0 over Zach Wilson & the Jets, who’s thrown two 1st quarter ints…

One of those teams was 2-14 last year. The other team, with a "down" year, was 7-9.

One new QB is not going to radically change each team's fate.

True, but Mac Jones is smooth. He’s not an exciting off scheduled guy but he’s accurate & will make the right read/throw  9 times out of ten, that’s a QB you win with. Zach Wilson is cocky & takes a lot of chances, if he doesn’t play more like Jones 90% of the time in his career he’s not going to live up to his off schedule spectacular potential he shows at times.

Also, Sam Darnold is 13/17, 199 yards & a TD in the first half & is outplaying Winston & one of the best defenses in the NFL… 🤷‍♂️
