After the win over ULM, the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football team are the Sun Belt West Division champions. They will play Marshall in the SBC Championship on Saturday night at 6:30 inside Cajun Field.
The Ragin’ Cajuns are bowl-eligible for the seventh straight season, and third straight under head coach Michael Desormeaux, and have a great chance to get placed in a bowl game with no ties to the SBC.
The team’s official bowl game destination won’t be determined until after conference championship weekend but projections from college football reporters-bowl experts are already being released. Below are the latest bowl projections listed in alphabetical order by media outlet.
