With last week’s 53-3 victory over Troy, the University of Louisiana football team clinched the Sun Belt Western Division title and improved to 9-2 on the season with one regular season game remaining (this Saturday at Cajun Field against ULM) and then the SBC Championship against Appalachian State.

Last week it seemed that Mobile was the leading destination with New Orleans not that far behind. That has slightly changed. Listed below are 10 latest bowl projections listed in alphabetical order by media outlet.
