In that scenario App, Troy, and Coastal are all 6-2 in conference and Troy wins the tiebreaker. It's not likely, but it's not ludicrously contrived, either.
I like the idea of Coastal winning out at this point. But this is going to be my second choice!

It makes sense for y'all, I just want our season to be over

There is smoke, that if we win this week and secure the division, that we won’t be made to play Troy. Just the messenger...

Zero chance unless for COVID ... how would the Sun Belt even justify that?

That’s exactly how I feel. Let’s just this crappy season over with. Lick my wounds and hope my HC gets fired or quits.

This one is not going to be pretty. And on National TV to boot.

Since when is ESPN+ national tv? Go back to writing your letters.

I'm okay with this being on ESPN+. No need to watch my team get pillaged and plundered for all of the nation to see.

Truer words were never spoken. I agree 100% wholeheartedly. Thank goodness for ESPN+

RE: #15 Coastal Carolina @ Troy moved to ESPN2
I know y’all aren’t fans... but even the NCAA has come out and said they’re suggesting conferences bag meaningless games in the face of COVID worries keeping marque games/CG’s/Bowls etc from happening.
ACC leads the way:
https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...nship-game
The ACC announced a series of scheduling changes Tuesday that allowed Notre Dame to clinch a spot in the ACC championship game Dec. 19.
Among the scheduling changes to note: Both Notre Dame and Clemson now will have an open date Dec. 12, a week before the ACC championship game in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Irish had been scheduled to play Wake Forest, while the Tigers did not have a game scheduled for that day.
So bagging the meaningless ND/Wake game, and not forcing Clemson to play the previously COVID-canceled FSU game (keeping this as contingent, if fore some reason Clemson loses this week - that’d keep Miami in it, and Clemson would need the FSU game then).
Gives both teams a week off to prepare, is fair, allows for COVID isolation, and is best for the on-field product.
We could learn something...

I disagree ... what message are you telling the players at this point? They've worked their asses off to play the games and you're going to take that opportunity away from them?

At this point the App vs UL would be considered a meaningless game, but I guarantee BOTH teams want to play it. Even if it now lacks GC implications it is still one of the best G5 matchups. I would expect the players, especially the seniors want to play every game they can in this screwed up Covid season.

Check out the SEC’s response. It’s a chicken **** way to protect teams. Play the games on your schedule, you sound weak when you want to skip games. .
