College Football Sun Belt Preview

The Sun Belt Conference has always been the weakest of the 11 conferences across the nation, and that should be the case again this season.

However, it could be one of the more improved in the country as many teams bring back significant returning starters. This may not equate to more non-conference wins but the parity could mean a chance for teams to get a crack at dethroning Troy, the 2008 Sun Belt champion.

Troy will face stiff tests from Florida Atlantic, Middle Tennessee, and Arkansas State, but it is a definite possibility that they repeat.

The biggest reason is QB Levi Brown. Brown will have with him one of the best receivers in the Sun Belt in senior Jerrell Jernigan, who amassed 868 yards on 77 receptions.

North Texas and Western Kentucky will bring up the rear, with the Hilltoppers playing their first season as a football member of the Sun Belt.
