Not sure why the G5 conferences don’t schedule rivalry week for the last week of the season. It should be:

South Alabama at Troy
Coastal Carolina at Appalachian State
Georgia State at Georgia Southern

ULM at Louisiana and Texas State at Arkansas State are in their right spots.

Don’t know what took so long for App State and Southern to start playing on Thanksgiving weekend.
