Any guesses on schedule?

I imagine the conference championship game puts an end to Wednesday night games because there isn't the extra week. There were none in 2014 when the regular season ended the same week. I imagine App and Arkansas State will both be Thursday night games which means Troy will be a Saturday. I think that will be one of the biggest crowds we've seen at Paulson Stadium. Especially since there's a chance it could be homecoming.

There weren't any Wednesday games because there were 2 Tuesday games. Nobody remembers because that was ULL/stAte's thing before we got to the conference and they found out we got ratings.

There will be 2 Tues/Wed games this year.

There will be 2 Tues/Wed games this year.

Which will hopefully involve ArkSt., ULL, and one other team, and leave us out. We are at an unfair disadvantage. They get an extra hour to prepare.

The highest rated Sun Belt game last year was Arkansas State @ here on Wednesday night. That tells me ESPN will probably do the same thing this year.

Expect it to look something like this:
Sept 1: Presbyterian - opening weekend (Paint the town blue)


Sept 8: UMASS - Military appreciation day


Sept 15: @Clemson


Sept 22: bye week


Sept 27: App State - Thursday night


Oct 6: @Texas State


Oct 13: South Alabama - homecoming


Oct 20: @New Mexico State


Oct 27: @Georgia State


Oct: 31 Arkansas State - Wednesday night


Nov 10: Troy - last home game


Nov 17: @Louisiana-Lafayette


Nov 24: @Coastal Carolina


Dec 1: Conference Championship

I think someone has told you this already but the last weekend is now for the championship game.

So does that mean we only get one bye week from now on? I wasn't sure that Dec 1 was the definitive date for the championship game.

Yes. There will only be 1 bye week going forward. Conference championship game falls on the same day as the rest of the championship games.

I think your right, it is very likely to happen that way.

The Pac12 CCG is Fri Nov 30 (Fox) and the other 9 CCG's are on Sat Dec 1... SEC 4pm/CBS, B10 TBA/Fox and all other times and channels TBA.

It will be the same weekend as all the other championship games, as that is the conclusion of the regular season. We typically extended our regular season to cover that weekend since we didn't have a championship game. The next weekend is reserved for the Army/Navy game.

Yes. There will only be 1 bye week going forward. Conference championship game falls on the same day as the rest of the championship games.

Thanks. I edited my post.
