PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania -- The safest prediction in the Southwestern Athletic Conference is that there are no safe predictions. Quite simply, you just don't know what to expect with the SWAC, the only FCS conference to play to a championship game.
The last five champions have come out of the West Division and each has been a different program (Texas Southern later vacated its 2010 title). None of those games were decided by more than seven points, and that came in overtime last season with Southern topping Jackson State.
Speaking of Jackson State, it's been in the championship game each of the last two seasons ... and then it fired coach Rick Comegy last December.
Comegy wound up staying in the same state to take over at Mississippi Valley State, which, like Alcorn State, has never played in the SWAC Championship Game since it was started in 1999.
And Alcorn State just may have the best team in the conference this season. Or it could finish third in the East.
