The way I read the scoring paragraph in the Bubas Cup page, the conference office does not differentiate between division opponents. If two teams have the same conference record, they will split the points for the two places they occupy. Arkansas State and Coastal Carolina had the same conference record (15-1), so they will split the points for first and second place (12+11=23. 23/2=11.5).
I caught the switch I did on Texas State's numbers. It's corrected.
According to emails I have from the Sun Belt office the tourney results do play some small part in how Win-Loss ties are handled in divisional sports. I thought I had posted that in my own Bubas thread but the info is not there. I'll dig out the emails and post at some point soon.
Here is what was sent to me from the SB office when I asked about how points were awarded for divisional sports.
How Bubas Cup points are earned in sports with divisions:
9.2.1.1 - 12 points shall be awarded to the divisional winner that has the best finish in the Conference Tournament.
