Week 15: Arkansas State at Troy
Troy has tied for the last two Sun Belt titles, but it wants this one all for itself. But Arkansas State can earn a share of its second title with a win over the Trojans.
Week 14: Arkansas State at North Texas
Arkansas State still has a chance to claim a share of the Sun Belt title, but North Texas was seemingly out of it from day one. The Red Wolves must beat UNT this week and knock off league front-runner Troy next week to earn a share of the championship.
Week 13: Florida Atlantic at Arkansas State
Perhaps no two Sun Belt teams are headed in different directions like these. Arkansas State has lost three straight; Florida Atlantic has won four straight. The loser of this game puts a bowl out of reach.
Week 11: Arkansas State at FIU
Florida International likely played its way out of the Sun Belt race last week, but Arkansas State stepped right back into it. But ASU must be perfect in conference play the remainder of the way to fulfill any title hopes, and that starts with this road game against FIU.
Week 10: Arkansas State at Alabama
Alabama’s potential SEC title run takes a week off, but its national championship chances are always on the line. The Tide take on Sun Belt Conference member Arkansas State. It’s hardly an SEC opponent, but there are a couple of reasons Alabama must not overlook the Red Wolves.
Under The Radar: Week 9
The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC all have marquee match-ups this weekend. But the battle for Pac-10 supremacy will also take place in Tuscan, Arizona. Mike Stoops and Co. are set to take on the USC Trojans late Saturday night.
Under The Radar: Week 8
The Big 12 continues to be the conference to watch on Saturday's with marquee match-ups in Austin, Texas and Norman, Okla. However, there are a few other games to watch this weekend that aren't necessarily getting the national hype.
Week 8: Arkansas State at Louisiana-Lafayette
This could be the shortest and most physical game of the Sun Belt season. Both teams run the ball with ferocity, and neither offense has shown signs of slowing down. One team, however, will take a step back in the conference title hunt with this game.
Week 7: Louisiana-Monroe at Arkansas State
Arkansas State spent a bye week contemplating its spot atop the Sun Belt standings, as many think the Red Wolves have assumed the role of favorite early in the conference schedule. Louisiana-Monroe dropped its conference opener, but it can turn the early league race upside down with a win at ASU.
Under The Radar: Week 6
The upsets continue as Pitt took down South Florida Thursday night. Are there any other teams that need to be on upset alert? Penn State travels to Purdue, Texas heads to Boulder and the 5-0 UConn Huskies are on Tobacco Road this weekend.
Under The Radar: Week 5
Oregon State has thrown the first wrench into the BCS landscape with their 27-21 victory over USC last night. The Horned Frogs of TCU will try their best to do the same Saturday against the Sooners.
Week 5: Arkansas State at Memphis
The Red Wolves have won two straight against the Tigers, stunning the Tigers with a last-second, `Hail Mary' pass two years ago and overcoming a 31-6 halftime deficit last year in Jonesboro, Ark., to rally for a 35-31 victory. Before the two-game streak, Arkansas State had dropped 10 straight in the series.
Five burning questions: Week 5
Has the Big 12 North caught up to the Big 12 South? Will a Conference USA, MAC or Sun Belt team ever reach a BCS Bowl game? Athlon's editors debate these questions and more in the Week 5 edition of Five Burning Questions.
Under The Radar: Week 4
This is easily the biggest slate of games thus far in 2008. SEC powers will be on display all over the schedule but it doesn't mean that there aren't solid match-ups elsewhere this weekend.
Week 4: MTSU at Arkansas State
MTSU and Arkansas State have had similar highs and lows in non-league games this season, but this conference contest carries a different significance.

Under The Radar: Week 3
This is the biggest weekend in college football this season. Ohio State-USC will steal the spotlight but that does not mean there isn't plenty of solid match-ups elsewhere.
Week 3: Southern Miss at Arkansas State
This is one of the more intriguing mid-major clashes of the young season. Southern Miss is among Conference USA’s perennial front-runners, even with tempered expectations under first-year coach Larry Fedora. Arkansas State, a member of the Sun Belt, could not have been more impressive in its first two wins.
