Sports season
The 2014 Sun Belt Conference football season was the 14th college football season for the Sun Belt Conference . During the 2014 season, eleven schools competed in Sun Belt football: Appalachian State , Arkansas State , Georgia Southern , Georgia State , Idaho , Louisiana–Lafayette , Louisiana–Monroe , New Mexico State , South Alabama , Texas State , and Troy .[ 1]
The conference title was won by Georgia Southern, in its first year as both a Sun Belt member and an FBS program. The Eagles became only the third team to win a conference championship in their first FBS season. The other two schools to accomplish this feat were Nevada , Big West Conference champions in 1992, and Marshall , which won the Mid-American Conference crown in 1997 . Georgia Southern also became the first team ever to go unbeaten in conference play in its first FBS season (both the 1992 Nevada and 1997 Marshall teams lost once in conference play).[ 2]
The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns and the Arkansas State Red Wolves both finished 5-2 and were co-champions of the Sun Belt Conference . The Ragin' Cajuns earned the conference's first bowl spot in the R+L Carrier New Orleans Bowl , as Louisiana-Lafayette defeated Tulane 24–21 to win their 3rd straight New Orleans Bowl. Arkansas State earned the second and final Sun Belt bowl, as they played in the GoDaddy Bowl . Arkansas State scored a late touchdown in the fourth quarter to upset Ball State , who entered the game with a 10–2 record, and win their second straight GoDaddy Bowl.
The Sun Belt had seven teams eligible for bowl games, but only two received bids (Louisiana-Lafayette and ASU). Western Kentucky had the third best record at 8–4, while ULM, South Alabama, Texas State, and Troy had records of 6-6. The only team that was not eligible for a bowl game was Georgia State.[ 3]
