2012 CFN Season Ranking: 44
The opening day blowout loss to Arkansas dragged down the overall ranking a bit, but the Ragin’ Cajuns made up for it by rolling through the first part of the Sun Belt schedule with dominant wins over Texas State, WJU and Arkansas State on the way to the New Orleans Bowl. The season could’ve ended with a thud after losing to ULM and getting blown away by South Alabama, but the bowl win over Tulane made it a third straight 9-4 season and showed staying power for the program.
