With so few regular season games, conference games are critical for college football programs.
Week 8 features a Sun Belt matchup between second-place Coastal Carolina and third-place App State. These teams are fighting for positioning as the college football season reaches the midpoint of the 2025 campaign.
App State is coming off a 41-20 victory against Georgia State on the road. This marked the second straight win for the squad and a good recovery after losing its first Sun Belt game of the season.
Coastal Carolina also enters this game on a win, defeating UL Monroe, 23-8, last week. The Chanticleers haven't been able to win two games in a row, making for some inconsistency this year.
