If this happens, Arkansas State would win the Sun Belt outright due to their head to head win against us.
That's incorrect. We'd share to title with stAte per the Sun Belt Conference rules. There is no tie breaker scenario. Same record = co-champs.
Those were my thoughts exactly. There could not be a head to head tie breaker since everyone doesn't play each other and we have no conference championship. I kind of doubt that they will have much problem. Same with Stink. Not to completely knock an earlier comment that said GA State could be 8-3 but typically a case can be made for most any team to have more wins than losses. We were within a few kicking miscues of being at least 9-3 last year.
You're exactly right. An argument often can be made that a team COULD be much better if not for a few bad breaks. That argument was made OFTEN on this board about our team last year. It isn't intended to state that the team SHOULD have the higher record. It just indicates that the team has possibly been more competitive than their record indicates. Not all 5-6 teams are equal. I certainly would even argue that GSU deserves to be higher than they are, but the point was how much they had improved over the previous year.
