Sun Belt Publisher's Poll Week 5

Sun Belt Publisher's Week Six Poll

1. Middle Tennessee (4) - Previous rank: 1
The Blue Raiders have the most consistent body of work so far in the Sun Belt, but they'll get their most difficult test on Tuesday night against an opponent they haven't beaten since 2005.

2. Troy - Previous rank: 2
The Trojans typically live up to the hype on national television. MT vs. Troy may be the league's best television showcase in its history for a conference game.

3.ULM - Previous rank: 3
The Warhawks are starting to turn heads as they have jumped out to an early 2-0 record in conference play. Next Tuesday's nationally televised game against Arkansas State will be a tough test on just how strong ULM really is.

4. Arkansas State- Previous rank: 4
Arkansas State looked solid against a nationally ranked Iowa team this past week. Their conference game next Tuesday at ULM could help the conference title race start to take shape.

5. Louisiana-Lafayette - Previous rank: 5
ULL had the week off, but will jump into conference action this week against North Texas

6. FAU - Previous rank: 8
Another week, another game which sees the Owls come up just short. Now FAU will take a week off to try to regroup.

7. FIU - Previous rank: 6
FIU looked good at times against ULM, but were unable to contain the Warhawk's running attack. This week's game against WKU will pit two winless teams against one another.

7. North Texas - Previous rank: 8
After a week off, the Mean Green start conference play at ULL. This game will make or break their season.

9. WKU - Previous rank: 9

In the battle of the winless teams, this game could be WKU's best chance to break into the win column.
