If the two leagues were to begin a “showdown series” where the two leagues were to have multiple matchups of their teams in one week/weekend what pairings would you like to see? Would their be any trophies or hardware given to the winning conference?

Here are my matchups with quick thoughts:
*App state vs. Charlotte (a pretty obvious geographic matchup that we will see for the upcoming seasons) i think it’d also be fun to see a showdown against Marshall as well

*astate/lala/ULM vs La tech and or north Texas (quite a bit of history with these schools spanning multiple decades and conferences)

Astate vs WKU (Despite only battling as conference foes briefly, the few games between the Hilltoppers and red wolves were all emotional and bad blooded affairs)

*ULM vs Rice (while I wouldn’t rule out seeing another Regular season match up of the Cajuns/dawgs or even Astate vs la tech, dunnon if there will be a day when bulldogs brass would consider playing ULM in football, so another intriguing, out of the box matchup I think would be surprisingly fun would be owls vs the Warhawks)

Coastal vs Old Dominion (again another intriguing regional matchup between two of the newbloods)

Georgia State vs FIU/Georgia Southern vs FAU (battle of the Florida/Georgia line)

South Al vs Southern miss (border war between two programs that seemingly has quite a bit of heat despite the lack of play on the gridiron)

Troy vs uab/mtsu(well established instate rivalry with the Trojans and blazers and when MTSU & Troy battle for the palladium it was always a spirited contest)

Texas State vs utsa/utep (we’ve already got the I-35 rivalry occurring the next several years and another potential lone star battle could be pretty competitive between the cats and miners)
