A couple of App fans have been tweeting about it, but I can't find any info myself.

East/West Divisions. 8 Conference games. CCG hosted by the team with the highest CFP ranking.

From the Sunbelt web site:

Among the items finalized was the establishment of the 2018 eight game football schedule format with two five team divisions, the criteria for determining the representatives in the Sun Belt Football Championship Game, and the determination of the host site for the game.

The two football divisions established beginning with the 2018 season are:

East: Appalachian State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Troy
West: Arkansas State, Louisiana, ULM, South Alabama, Texas State

The winners of each division will meet in the championship game. The game will be played at the home stadium of the divisional winner that has the best ranking in the College Football Playoff (CFP) poll.

Arkansas State @ South Alabama 2015

4th quarter
South Alabama leads 31-20
12:33 - ASU scores a TD and 2PT conversion (USA leads 31-28)
10:08 - ASU scores a TD after an INT on the USA 33 (ASU leads 35-31)
8:44 - ASU scores a TD when USA fumbles in their end-zone (ASU leads 42-31)
7:16 - ASU scores a TD when USA throws a pick 6 (ASU leads 49-31)

Not only did ASU score 4 touchdowns in 5 minutes and 17 seconds, but 3 of them were set up by the 3 turnovers USA committed in 2 minutes and 52 seconds. Unfortunately this memory has not been purged and replaced with a better one.

This was definitely a fluke game! How in the heck did y'all score 31 pts on us?!?!
