Going into 2017, the Sun Belt was the only league among the G5 that did not have a conference championship game. Well, that is no more as the Sun Belt has come out and announced that the league will be splitting into two divisions in 2018 and will finally have a conference title game.
Gone will be Idaho and New Mexico State, but the two five-team divisions should provide some great competition. According to the news release, the divisions will look like this:
2018 Sun Belt divisions w/champ game: East:-App St, Coastal Carolina, Ga Southern, Ga St, Troy; West-Ark St, Louisiana, ULM, USA, Texas St

- At first glance, it appears that the East is absolutely stacked.
