The 2014 Sun Belt Conference Football opponents have been set and released to the member schools, according to a document obtained by FBSchedules.com.
Next season will see a shuffling of the teams in the Sun Belt as Western Kentucky departs and four schools enter: Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Idaho, and New Mexico State. Had Western Kentucky not accepted an invitation to join Conference USA, the Sun Belt would have split into East and West divisions next season.
The East would have been Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, South Alabama, Troy, and Western Kentucky. The West Division, which could still look the same in the future, was set to be Arkansas State, Idaho, New Mexico State, Texas State, UL Lafayette, and ULM.
The Sun Belt is still seeking a 12th member that will let them split into divisions and stage a championship game.
In the meantime, the 2014 Sun Belt rotation will have each team playing four home and four road conference games. Unless a 12th team is added, the 2015 schedule is expected to be the same as 2014 but with the home and away sites flipped.
