Sun Belt Publisher Week 10 Poll

Sun Belt Publisher's Week 10 Poll

1. Troy (4) - Previous rank: 1
There is no doubt left about the Trojans being the class of the conference. Their league schedule the rest of the way looks very manageable on paper.

2. ULM - Previous rank: 2
ULM got brought back to reality with their loss at Troy last week. The offense struggled with back up QB Cody Wells in, while the defense had no answer for receiver Jerrel Jernigan.

3. Middle Tennessee - Previous rank: 4
The Blue Raiders staged an improbable come from behind win at FAU and are just one win away from bowl eligibility.

4. Florida Atlantic - Previous rank: 6
The Owls controlled their game against MT on offense and defense but a terrible special teams performance cost them a win.

5. FIU - Previous rank: 7
With T.Y. Hilton getting healthy again, the Golden Panthers look dangerous down the stretch. Even with out him, FIU managed to score just enough in OT.

6. Arkansas State - Previous rank: 5
The Red Wolf offense ranks toward the bottom in every statistical category in the conference. Until they improve, Arkansas State is in trouble.

7. Louisiana-Lafayette - Previous rank: 3
The Cajuns have been exposed as a pretender in the title race.

8. North Texas - Previous rank: 8
The Mean Green had a lot of fun against the WKU defense to get their first conference win, but will get more of a challenge this week against #2 ULM.

9. WKU - Previous rank: 9
The Hilltoppers look to be on a crash course for an 0-12 season. This week they get to host #1 Troy.
