The Sun Belt Conference ruled college football last Saturday. Louisiana-Lafayette won at Iowa State. Arkansas State won at Kansas State. Coastal Carolina won at Kansas.
This week, it’s the American Conference’s turn. Tulsa plays at OSU in a game delayed a week by the pandemic. Houston plays at Baylor in a game that was hastily scheduled after both teams missed out on openers because of the coronavirus (Baylor vs. Louisiana Tech last Saturday, Houston vs. Memphis this Saturday).
And the Sun Belt’s success -- particularly victories in Ames and Manhattan -- should fortify Tulsa’s confidence that it can win in Stillwater.
