NEW ORLEANS — After securing a third straight Sun Belt Conference football title in 2018 with a victory in the league's inaugural championship game, Appalachian State has been picked to win another Sun Belt championship in 2019.
A vote by league coaches in advance of Monday's Sun Belt Media Day in New Orleans tabbed App State the East Division favorite and Louisiana the West Division favorite. Those two programs met for the Sun Belt title last year, with the Mountaineers claiming a 30-19 victory in Boone, and Appalachian has been picked to repeat as the championship game winner.
