Should the Sun Belt Conference eliminate divisions or keep its traditional East and West split? Dave Schultz tackles the heated debate as Old Dominion, arguably the second-best team, is set to miss the Sun Belt Championship due to current divisional rules. Rivalries like South Alabama vs. Troy and Louisiana vs. Southern Miss hang in the balance, raising questions about the future of Sun Belt football and fan engagement.

Key discussion points include how divisional formats impact bowl eligibility, potential coaching carousel shake-ups, and standout performances across the league.

Dave Schultz examines key matchups such as App State's gritty win over Marshall and Texas State's late-season surge, while spotlighting coaches like Bob Chesney and Ricky Rahne amidst swirling rumors.

Should preserving rivalries outweigh the push for a best-versus-best championship? Join the conversation as Locked On Sun Belt breaks down what’s next for the conference and its top contenders.
