With the shuffling of schools in and out of the Sun Belt, some rivalries will pass while others will emerge. Here are some hypothetical rivalries that could arise and the trophies that would match them.
Rivalry: The ASsU Assault
Trophy: The Golden Light Bulb
Competitors: Arkansas State versus Appalachian State
Legacy: The right to be called "ASU" is on the line with a shiny trophy to signify the victor. The winner will take the Golden Light Bulb back home where fans will gather around and wonder if the mythical "electricity" has anything to do with its function.
Rivalry: The Farm Fight
Trophy: The Perfect Pitchfork
Competitors: Idaho versus Georgia Southern
Legacy: It's potatoes versus cotton as the agricultural industry battles itself.
Rivalry: The Bus Bowl
Trophy: The Super Subway Token
Competitors: Troy verus Georgia State
Legacy: This matchup features the institutions with the largest off campus student enrollment. Whether they commute to class in the evenings or attend 1 of 3,000 satellite campuses, these students know there's no place like home... where you don't live.
Rivalry: The Outlier Championship
Trophy: The Neglected Boot
Competitors: New Mexico State versus Texas State
Legacy: The institutions all alone in cowboy land battle over the right to be the best of the (extra)west.
Rivalry: The Gulf Game
Trophy: The Stinky Shrimp Boat
Competitors: UL(Insert City Here) versus South Alabama
Legacy: It's a battle over who gets the last of the settlement money from BP. Although Lafayette is closer to the gulf than Monroe, ULM gets included because they'll be damned if they left the Cajuns try something alone.
Rivalry: The FCS Championship
The Trophy: 4/7th Banner
Competitors: Appalachian State versus Georgia Southern
Legacy: The lost National Championship for each school is on the line as App State races for #4 while Georgia Southern shoots for #7. It's like the 4th place medal for both teams as they struggle through transition.
Rivalry: The Magic Bowl
Trophy: The Platinum Drop Gun
Competitors: Georgia State versus Logic
Legacy: This is a fun game that involves any visiting fans to the Georgia Dome. It's the world's best game of hide and seek as visitors try to find the 10,000 invisible fans that G-State claims.
