After the win over Troy, the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns football team is in position to win the Sun Belt West Division title. They clinch the West with a win over ULM this week, or a loss by South Alabama to Texas State.
With one game left on the regular season, 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 December 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.
