Who will Troy football play in Sun Belt championship? Trojans' opponent clinches spot
Troy football will compete for its second-consecutive Sun Belt Championship next week. The Trojans clinched the West Division two weeks ago with its win over ULM but had to wait until Saturday to find out their opponent. Troy (10-2, 7-1 Sun Belt) will host East Division winner Appalachian State (8-4, 6-2) next weekend.
The Mountaineers needed some help to clinch their spot as they entered Saturday third in the East. However, after the NCAA denied division-leading James Madison's postseason waiver, App State defeated Georgia Southern, 55-27, and watched JMU defeat Coastal Carolina, 56-14, on Saturday afternoon to clinch the division on a tiebreaker.
