Sun Belt Football 2024 Predictions
Change is the biggest storyline for most college football conferences in the 2024 season, but that's not the case in the Sun Belt. The 14-team league will maintain divisions and the same membership as it had in '23. Although the Sun Belt never made a New Year's Six bowl or earned a playoff spot in the four-team format, the recent conference changes could put this league as the best in the Group of 5 ranks. In the East, Appalachian State is the projected frontrunner after winning the division and losing 49-23 to Troy in the conference title game last season.

Georgia Southern Football: Eagles Season Preview and Prediction
When you run as aggressive a passing offense as Georgia Southern does, turnovers are going to happen. They clearly have to happen less frequently for the Eagles, whose 31 turnovers were tied with Nebraska for the most in FBS. Another postseason berth is certainly possible, but should be more than that in Year 3 of the Clay Helton era? Georgia Southern threw the ball 62% of the time last season. So, quarterback play is massively important. Davis Brin, the starter in 2023, has moved on, so the job is open.
