I can see Auburn in the top 8 with their wins so far, but who has Oregon played to strengthen their schedule besides losing to Auburn? Also, LSU won on the road at #11, I would think that would trump Oregon. Anyway, it’s fun talking points. I’d like to see an updated BCS list if Texas takes care of business in Dallas on Saturday. Hook ‘Em!

GAME DAY
Cajuns hosting App State tonight on national TV
Arguably the biggest conference game at Cajun Field in a looooong time as the winner is in the driver's seat to host the Sun Belt Conference Championship game. Since joining the SBC, App State is the program that all other teams circle on the calendar. They have national recognition being the first FCS team to beat a ranked FBS school (2007 @ #5 Michigan), and they have 3 1-AA National Championships. The Mountaineers have won back to back to back "3-peat" SBC championships. Louisiana is 0-6 vs. App and have never beaten them.
Louisiana (4-1) leads the nation in rushing yds. per game at home ... 407 yds. , and ranks 5th nationally with 282 rushing yds./game. App (4-0) ranks 5th nationally scoring 48.7 per/game. Defensively, the Cajuns are giving up 372 yds./game and the Mountaineers are giving up 462 yds./game. Should be a very evenly matched game and possibly decided by who has the ball last. Cajun HC Billy Napier has the program headed in the right direction as this team is very physical. Louisiana will have to assert their dominance on offense, defense, and special teams. A Win keeps the momentum rolling into conference play, and a loss at home will be very disappointing.
I'll be at The Swamp tonight supporting my alma mater and hoping for a W. Geaux Cajuns !
FYI - that crawfish helmet was an April Fool's joke. I would have no problem if the team wore that helmet since it represents the unique Cajun culture, and it has a "cool factor" that appeals to 19-20 year old kids.
