Multitude of bowl game possibilities for App State

The App State football team was given new life this weekend when UL-Lafayette knocked off conference leader Arkansas State.

Not only does this give the Mountaineers at least a share of their first Sun Belt Conference crown, but it shakes up where they will end up in bowl season.

The Sun Belt Conference has five bowl game tie-ins against a Mountain West, Mid-American or American conference team.

The process for teams falling in certain bowl games starts with the Sun Belt making their top five teams available to its bowl partners.

While many conferences have certain slots for how teams finish the regular season, the Sun Belt is given a predetermined list from each bowl partner to pick from those five teams.
