On another thread someone asked if UNT could still technically win the Sun Belt. Someone else responded that WKU would have to win out. Thinking that probably wasn't the only possibility, I thought I'd try to put together a scenario where we pull it off. Feel free to call me out if I have a math error somewhere. I spent some time on this, but not a ton. I tried to do this without throwing in any rediculous upsets, but naturally there would have to be some upsets, mostly by UNT. Here is my scenario:
11/2:
MTSU beats ASU
11/6:
FIU beats ULM
WKU beats FAU
UNT beats Troy
11/13:
WKU beats ASU
FIU beats Troy
ULL beats FAU
UNT beats MTSU
11/20:
ULL beats FIU
MTSU beats WKU
UNT beats ULM
11/27:
FIU beats ASU
MTSU beats FAU
ULM beats ULL
Troy beats WKU
12/4:
FIU beats MTSU
Troy beats FAU
I know...a lot of long shots, right? If this scenario were to play out, there would be a three way tie between Troy, MTSU, and UNT, but UNT would have beaten Troy and MTSU in head-to-head competition. The thing that makes this scenario kind of interesting is that UNT would have to beat KSU to be bowl eligible.
