Unexpected after the start both teams had but here we are. We get a re-match of the Miracle on the Mountain which I know Troy fans have been wanting.

A rivalry renewed on the biggest stage.

Gonna be a good one

I disagree with unexpected, but whatever. See you at The Vet.

A fitting end to a bonkers season. Let’s go App.

Both of these teams are fully capable of winning this game. Gotta back ASU, though. Let’s get the championship for the East!

Do CrApp State fans feel it is a tainted way to be let into the championship although finishing at the runner up in the East?

Seems like there would be some guilt for not earning the spot.

Final Sun Belt East standings
James Madison 7-1
CrApp State 6-2
Coastal Carolina 5-3
Old Dumb-minion 5-3
Georgia State 3-5
Marshall 3-5
Georgia Southern 3-5

This includes a road win over the Sun Belt West #1 Troy who finished 7-1.

By all laws of sports standings, James Madison won the Sun Belt this year as a 2nd year FCS transition program.

Most of the playing roster was made up of FCS recruits. One P5 transfer on offense, One P5 transfer on defense. The other 20 starters were FCS recruits and they ran through the mediocre Sun Belt like a hot knife through butter. It has to be discouraging for some of the teams who may now feel like they will never have a shot at a conference title with the competition level being raised by the Dukes.

Helen o' Troy by 20....

Playing for Championships

Out of 5 SBCCG played App will have been in 4 of them.

"By all laws of sports standings"

You sound like the biggest nerd.

Good luck to Troy. It took a while but the two best programs rise to the top in the end.

More waivers?

I don't think App fans should be gloating, they barely backdoored themselves in to this.

Honestly it could have been just about anybody in the East, this division was stupid stacked.

Going to be interesting to see if JMU can maintain this level of play now that they will be eligible going forward.

Except App St is playing the best football in the conference at the perfect time. Ask JMU.

Since it's looking like JMU is going to be bowl eligible, I can honestly see them getting the best matchup regardless who wins our conference championship.

I can easily see ESPN pitting JMU vs Liberty.

I feel bad for Troy not getting another crack at the eastern conference champion.

Oh look, JMU fans have already found another thread to hijack! Shocker.

All season long I've tried to support you guys. I even felt bad when you didn't win your appeal with the NCAA that we all knew you'd lose. But it's over now. You'll get a bowl. Now quit. Quit crying. Come back next year and earn it again. That's how we play this sport.

No. We beat you. You're kings of nothing. I might feel differently had we lost to you.

Oh look another team that finished 2nd is already hijacking the conference title game again..
