Not sure why SFA is #11 in the poll, they are 1-2 against D1 teams and haven't played that tough of a schedule.  They probably have the best defense in the SLC but they aren't that good offensively.  And wasn't UTA suppose to be good this year?  The SLC is weaker than usual this year so there's no reason why Lamar shouldn't win the conference.

[UNLV]

If Lamar can avoid an Indiana st type game, the slc is all Lamar's.

My slc ranking of top 3 teams currently is

1. Lamar

2. UTSA

3. SHSU

This rankings includes east teams. The east just sucks big time....

Thats why I predict LU will win the conference or at least have a good shot at winning it. The SLC is a weak conference compared to other lowly conferences. Too bad UT won't give LU the time of day to play them.

UL, UK, and Memphis gave LU the time and day...

But didn't they play LU in a round robin format with other teams? UT has too much lose right now. How would it look for another Texas team with mid-major status beat up on them?

[LUFAN]

The only team that we are playing in a round robin format is UL.. The rest were just regular home games..

Oh okay, I see. Just think if LU had a Steh Curry caliber type of player...........
