TROY, Ala. (AP)—Levi Brown threw for a school-record 469 yards as Troy remained unbeaten in Sun Belt Conference play with a 50-26 win over North Texas on Saturday.

    Troy got a single vote in the Harris Polls, and frankly, its likely the loss to Bowling Green that is keeping them from getting more.

    Central Michigan, a team comparable to Troy is knocking on the door of the top 25, becuase they've beaten the schools they should have beaten (to include Bowling Green in thier conference).
