With respect to their remaining two games against the Cajuns and the Bobcats, it’s the Red Wolves who’ve been playing out of their minds for six weeks straight. From 0-4 to conference champion is unfortunately nothing new in this conference (remember the early 2000’s?), but stAte did it in style this year, coming from behind to bypass both App State (whom they do not play) and AP #25 Troy to rise to 6-4 (6-0), moving into first place and becoming bowl eligible in the same week.
Officially, we can’t hand them the title just yet, as they face a feisty U of L team in Lafayette next week, before finishing up in San Marcos on December 1 against Texas State.
