Forde-Yard Dash: Giving the Sun Belt the Respect It Deserves

Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football, where Maryland regrettably has picked up right where it left off:

THIRD QUARTER: SUN BELT > BIG 12

The Dash would like to apologize to the Sun Belt Conference (21), commissioner Keith Gill, and all the coaches and players in a league that stretches from the Texas hill country to the beaches of South Carolina. It is a humble place, where the football programs toil in the shadow of Power 5 conference behemoths. And it has been disrespected.

The Dash erred in ranking Oklahoma State (22) in the Sports Illustrated Top 10 Sunday while overlooking a more deserving Sun Belt team.
