When I look at the Sunbelt, I see a conference that is growing and building some solid rivalries.

Troy vs South Alabama
ULM vs Arkansas State
Georgia State vs Georgia Southern
App State vs Coastal Carolina
Marshall vs App State
ULL vs ULM
App State vs Georgia Southern

Not sure about who Texas State considers a rival in the Sunbelt. Their big rival appears to be UTSA.

With the new teams joining:

Old Dominion vs James Madison

But who does Southern Miss need as a rival? We really only have one team with any significant history and that's Louisiana. We've played them 21 times and are 17-4 currently. South Alabama seems the obvious choice since they're only 95 miles away. We've played twice in football and are currently 0-2 against them.

Personally I think South Alabama makes the most sense due to proximity, while ULL is the school we have the most history with. What are your thoughts?

Also, I'd like to see us play the same team at the end of the season to really build up a true rivalry week game! I'd be ok if we played La Tech at the end of each season, but I'm tired of playing some random team at the end of the season when rivalry week rolls around.
