It’s an interesting time in the Sun Belt.
There will be plenty of changes and moves among the coaches – Marshall head coach Charles Huff might be off to Southern Miss – and several powers from last year ended up stepping aside in the race.
What came out all of this is an interesting matchup between a Louisiana team that found its footing again a few years after Billy Napier left for Florida, and a Marshall team that’s tough and, as a program, used to playing for conference titles.
Here are our CFN expert picks for the Sun Belt Championship along with the lines, how to watch, and links to the game preview.
