NCAA Football Conference Previews Part 1

-Sun Belt Conference-

Predicted Finish
1. Middle Tennesse
The Blue Raiders should be the favorite to win the Sun Belt because dual threat QB Dwight Dasher will be running the show.
2.Troy
Troy won the conference in 2009 but breaking in a new Quarterback will probably keep them from repeating.
3.Arkansas State
4.Florida Atlantic
5.Louisina Lafayette
6.Louisina Monroe
7.Florida International
8.North Texas
9.Western Kentucky


Player of the Year
Dwight Dasher, QB, Middle Tenn.
He ran and threw his way to almost 4,000 yards and 36 touchdowns in 2009 and should be just as good in 2010 on his way to conference player of the year


Must See Game
Troy @ Middle Tennessee, October 5th
Could end up deciding the conference


-Mid American Conference-

Predicted Finish
East
1.Temple
Coming off a season in which the Owls made it to their first bowl game in 30 years, Temple will be the favorite to win the East division
2.Ohio
May not have enough to challenge an improving Temple team
3.Kent St.
4.Bowling Green
5.Buffalo
6.Akron
7.Miami(OH)
West
1.Northern Illinois
Their run game and defense will carry them to the top of the West division
2.Central Michigan
The loss of QB Dan LeFevour and WR Antonio Brown will set the Chippewas back
3.Toledo
4.Western Michigan
5.Ball State
6.Eastern Michigan

Player of the Year
Bernard Pierce,RB, Temple
He rushed for 1,361 yards and 16 touchdowns last year and he was only a freshman. 2010 could be an even bigger year for the 6-foot back.

Must See Games
Temple @ Northern Illinois, Oct 9th
