ESPN's view of SBC Championship game

SP+...Sun Belt: Louisiana at No. 21 Appalachian State (noon, ESPN)

What has changed since Oct. 9? This is a rematch of one of the odder and more compelling games of the year. In a low-scoring early-October affair, App State overcame a massive field position deficit and survived UL in Lafayette 17-7, thanks primary to red zone execution and an incredible 10-minute, 97-yard drive in the fourth quarter. The Ragin' Cajuns had the Mountaineers right where they wanted them but just couldn't quite take advantage.

Since then, UL has gone on a rampage. The Cajuns were 68th in SP+ after the App loss but have since gone 6-0, winning games by an average of 40-15 and rising to 32nd. They have one of the best run games in the country. App hasn't exactly fallen off, though. The Mountaineers are 28th in SP+ and have suffered only a rivalry glitch to Georgia Southern. We should get the best version of these teams on Saturday; can Louisiana close the deal this time?

SP+ projection: Appalachian State 32, UL 28

Got a little annoyed earlier on College Gameday when they did the “Saturday Slate” of games. Guess which one they didn’t mention?

Very disappointed in College Game Day!!! Complete lack of respect

I saw us mentioned a few times during Game Day. ESPN's hyping up the SEC game more than anything.

Which makes sense, because they are carrying the game, but there was more on Gameday about Alabama (who isn’t playing today) than any of the G5 championship games.

Gotta support the money-makers.

I thought CBS was carrying the SEC Championship?

They are.

I give props To Ryan Leaf though. He’s constantly been giving both our team and town props for the last several weeks in interviews and conversations

[WVAPPeer]

I was surprised how very positive he was about APP!

[Yosefus]

He did a good job pleading our case. Thank you Mr. Leaf.

Wonder how Clemson would do if they were playing a D1 schedule?

[Yosefus]

The other G5 games very close. Boise tied, Cincy just took lead. Hope they give the committee lots to talk about tonight. Not holding my breath just saying
