Championship Game<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Appalachian State over Louisiana-Monroe<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notes<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Appalachian State will look to make it 4 straight years with either a Conference Championship or Co-Championship. We think they will accomplish that. They will probably take a step back as the East looks to be a pretty tough division (top 3 teams in the Sun Belt), but still have enough to win it. Lot of coaching turmoil in the Sun Belt with a couple coaches fired and a couple moving on to bigger jobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

App State nor Troy will likely garner much Top 25 attention. 6 bowl eligible teams, although half will likely be on the outside looking in come Bowl season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
