App State 5-3 at Coastal Carolina 7-1. A win by Coastal gives them the best record of any G5 program. Right now they are not ranked, but a win tonight could elevate them. The only 2 ranked G5 teams this week are Tulane at #19 and UCF at #25. This is important because the top rated conference champion of the G5 gets a New Year’s Day Bowl game.
Best candidates to win the G5 slot on New Years:
AAC Tulane 7-1, UC 6-2, and UCF 6-2
Sun Belt Coastal Carolina 4-1 ( 7-1) and Troy 4-1 (6-2)
MWC Boise 5-0 ( 6-2)
CUSA UTSA 4-0 ( 6-2)
MAC None
Everybody else has at least 3 losses. One of these teams will get the bid.
