Yeah, bad rankings. That should make you question the unusually high rankings of the Sunbelt teams. Who was that team the Sunbelt's newest member played last night? NAIA?

Actually we refer to them as future AAC member...

To be fair, like the rest of the Sunbelt, South Alabama is fresh out of FCS and not much better.

Drop Tulsa 20 spots and that is still ahead of the Sun Belt's #1.

C-USA is ahead of the Sun Belt at EVERY position comparing 1-8. And C-USA teams 9-14 are ahead of Sun Belt teams 7 and 8.
