ULM, Arkansas State and FIU also among the top 50
It’s been said for years that great defense helps a team
win games. And that has proven itself over the years. The Sun Belt Conference
finds one of its newest football programs ranked at the near top of polls in
defense and four SBC schools placing in the top 50 FBS schools.
SI.com is reporting their ranking for the top 50 FBS
programs in the nation. And South Alabama Jaguars has a great showing coming in
at 12th in the nation for total defense.
South Alabama is ranked just behind Virginia Tech and Texas
two top BCS schools, and even ranked higher than BCS programs such Wisconsin,
Michigan, Ohio State and others.
Arkansas State, UL-Monroe and FIU is also among those top
50 defensive programs, ULM is ranked at 23, ASU ranked 25 and FIU at 33.
This is great for South Alabama, a new FBS new team coming
into the Sun Belt Conference and the Football Bowl Subdivision this fall. SI.Com (FBS Defense Ranking)
