Louisiana won the West Division and qualified for Saturday’s title game with a 10-2 regular season record and a 7-1 Sun Belt Conference record. After losing to Tulane (41-33) at home in Week 4, the Ragin Cajuns won six straight games until losing to South Alabama (24-22) for the second time after a late rally from a 24-3 halftime hole ended in a missed two-point convert. Louisiana defeated Louisiana-Monroe (37-23) and Troy (51-30) to end the season.
After starting 1-2 through three games and 2-3 through five, Marshall was put to the test early in the season with defeats in consecutive road trips to Virginia Tech (31-14) and Ohio State (49-14). However, the Thundering Herd are hot right now and come into the Sun Belt Championship game having won six straight, including a 35–33 victory over James Madison in double overtime.
