I suspect at least one of APP, Troy, and ARKST will get in. ULM, South, and GSU with an outside shot, though as we've all stated it would a surprise to no one if ULM is in the title game.
Coastal is a big ? but should be improved. Have no idea about the cajuns, but we can all agree Texas State 1 in 1,000,000 odds to be there.
It would be a surprise to me if ULM were in. It would also be a surprise if the usuals are not in.

You think the top three are that much better than rest?

It does to an extent. And maybe we're buying too much of the warhawk spin, but I dunno. Seems logical to me that they would improve on defense considering the rash of injuries they've had, unless they've caught Joey Jones disease, where they always have a rash on injuries before, during, and after the season.

RE: Who plays in the inagural SBC Football Championship game?
InhunJohn broke down the injuries on defense. Marcus Hubbard who was limping around as our Buck Safety tore his knee up spring ball April 2017 and was forced into a starter six months later.
Safety And leading tackler before injury Luke Hedrick and Safety Colin Turner who was balling before game 3 injury forced him out are back. That alone will help a lot.
Defense has been dummied down to make it simpler and let the guys play. They changed some things the way the DL plays which seemed to work in spring game. We signed JUCO DT that had 11 sacks and JUCO DE with 9.5 sacks. Both are undersized but should help us out at least in passrush.
The defense will be improved . How
Much improved that’s yet to be determined.
Offensively we lost OL Sutton but with the guys returning there won’t be any let off. RB Luckett graduated and chose not return but we have 3 young RBs that will fill in. Other loss was 6-3 wr Brian Willaims 46 catches 628 yards 5 TD was loss but 6-2 210 RJ Turner will be the bigger target this year. We’re deep at wr.
We’ll be better team. We’re in year three with better staff and better strength program.

This is one AppFan who isn't counting any chickens before they hatch. Too many questions at key positions. It'll be fun to see how the young kids perform.

Probably could have left ULL and GS off the choices as well.
A lot of football left to play, but if it's UL and GS no one will win the prize.

I've said about a million times that this stuff goes in cycles, not matter how good you are. Looks to me like it could be GS and Cajuns at this point. Both are on the upswing with new coaches. Good luck to whomever it is.

Who plays in the inagural SBC Football Championship game?
Southern has won 1 game against an east opponent and lost last season to the 3 division teams left to play. I think I’ll wait on penciling in my eagles. ULM worries me right now.

With good reason. This has all the makings of a trap game, a road game sandwiched between two divisional rivals. The two fortunate things for you, two extra days to prepare (played on Thursday), and the game doesn't play a factor if it's the only conference loss.
