We’re overdue. Still App is really good team for that big moment.
Georgia Southern probably costed the conference many millions in NY6 Bowl. Now all we can do is knock them outta top 25.
This has been the most relevant, interesting SunBelt in the history of the football playing league as currently construct. If the Cajuns and Neers play for an SBC title, it will also be the most relevant, interesting and nationally paid attention to game in SBC football history.
Certainly if App reaches the CCG at 11-1 and the Cajuns come in at 10-2; given that all the evidence is that the teams are evenly matched, it will draw a huge amount of attention from football savvy fans. Even though no NY6 slot is up for grabs, this is the first time in recent history that any G5 conference other than the AAC can possibly end the season with two top 25 teams.
Imagine a situation where UL beats App 14-10 and both finish 11-2; then both hammer a perceived quality bowl opponent. I can't imagine a scenario where App would not be ranked at 12-2 with at least 2 P5 wins, nor where a 12-2 conference champion UL would not be ranked with a win over App and a quality bowl win on the resume.
This outcome would go a long way toward separating the SBC from the MAC and CUSA, and would close the gap on the MWC.
BEST part of this deal is that we will be MUCH better next year, especially defensively, while App only returns 3 defensive starters.
You're kidding yourself if you believe that any G5 CCG will be "nationally paid attention to". Few other than SBC fans will pay any attention to the SBC CCG, and the same is true for every other G5 conference CCG. It's just the way things are. The only CCG games that are "nationally paid attention to" are those P5 conference CCG's that have playoff implications.
