We bow down before our new overlords, the Sun Belt Conference. Who knew, right? A league that not long ago was considered the very bottom of the FBS barrel suddenly is toast of the sport, scoring a trio of seismic upsets on a Saturday that appeared sleepy coming in and turned into a furniture-on-the-lawn rager.
(As this chaotic beauty of a sport so often does.)
Often referred to as the Fun Belt, the league morphed into the Stun Belt on Saturday, scoring wins over three established powers.
Score one for realignment savvy, with the Sun Belt picking off Marshall and others from Conference USA—and then fast-tracking their membership for this season.
