In the FCS Huddle: SWAC spring football primer

Philadelphi, Pennsylvania -- The declining Southwestern Athletic Conference has endured a lot of criticism in recent seasons, but the title races sure are interesting.

Quite simply, they're so wide open each season.

There are five teams in the West Division and each one has won the SWAC title over the last five years (although Texas Southern vacated its 2010 championship).

Since the SWAC switched to a championship game in 1999, either Alabama A&M, Alabama State or Jackson State has been the East Division representative. This year, Alcorn State could change that dynamic, having gone 9-3 last season for its first winning record since 2006.

Here's a look across the conference with spring practices getting underway across the nation:
