## Resource

RJ Young snubs the Sun Belt as his Fox Sports rankings spark outrage—did he overlook key contenders like James Madison and Troy? The Sun Belt’s placement at the bottom, with teams like JMU, App State, and Southern Miss ranked 103–105, raises questions about national perception and thoroughness in preseason analysis. Host Dave Schultz examines how the AP Top 25 poll gave the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns and JMU unexpected recognition, and highlights early storylines to watch, including quarterback battles, critical matchups like Marshall vs. Penn State, and questions about defensive strength across the conference. Can the Sun Belt's top teams break into national prominence, or will injuries and depth concerns hold them back? Tune in for a fiery breakdown of rankings controversy, program outlooks, and what to watch as Sun Belt football gears up for a high-stakes season.
