New Orleans – The Sun Belt Conference released its 2007 composite football schedule today and the league’s seventh year of football includes an all-time conference high four nationally televised prime-time football games on ESPN2, highlighted by a November 20 match up when Middle Tennessee travels to Troy that features the conference’s two bowl participants from a year ago.  ESPN will also televise three other Sun Belt non-conference games: Tulsa at Louisiana-Monroe (August 30), Middle Tennessee at Louisville (September 6) and Oklahoma State at Troy (September 14).  The game between Tulsa and Louisiana-Monroe is ESPN’s first college football telecast of the 2007 season.

 

The conference’s eight football playing schools play 28 of their 40 non-conference games against teams that went to bowl games following the 2006 season.  Florida Atlantic plays a league high five non-conference games against teams that reached the post-season a year ago, while Louisiana-Monroe, Florida International and Troy each have four non-conference games against 2006 bowl teams. 

 

Troy and Middle Tennessee tied for the Sun Belt title in 2006 and each earned post-season berths, marking the second time the conference had two teams reach post-season play (2004, North Texas/Troy).  Troy earned the league’s automatic berth in the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl (defeated Middle Tennessee in regular season) and defeated Rice 41-17 to give the Sun Belt Conference a 4-3 win in the season’s head to head match ups with Conference USA.  Middle Tennessee earned an at-large spot in Detroit’s Motor City Bowl, the first bowl game in the school’s brief history at the Division 1-A level.

 

The Sun Belt Conference will announce its complete television package at a later date.
