## Resource

Can the Sun Belt Conference crash the College Football Playoff again? Dave Schultz explores whether Marshall, Troy, JMU, and other Sun Belt contenders can break into the postseason spotlight by taking down Power Four opponents like Penn State, Missouri, and Kentucky. With new CFP entry rules and the stakes higher than ever, are undefeated runs and surprise upsets on the horizon for teams like South Alabama, Old Dominion, or Coastal Carolina? Schultz breaks down which Sun Belt teams could impress or disappoint, spotlighting breakout candidates and squads facing uphill battles—like Georgia State and ULM fighting to move past last season’s struggles. Listen for insights on scheduling challenges, key injuries for Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns, and players to watch as the season approaches. Who has the potential to shock college football fans and claim a playoff berth?
