Six peer-conference teams the Red Wolves need on their OOC schedule.

Last year, Sun Belt Commissioner Karl Benson expressed a desire that the conference add more "peer conference" games to its out-of-conference schedules. For the Arkansas State Red Wolves, there are some obvious candidates to consider.

The Sun Belt plays, arguably, the toughest out-of-conference schedules in college football, traveling thousands of grueling miles every year to face the upper-echelon of the Power Five. Competitively, it's not very fair, but the financial rewards are considerable to say the least. But the Sun Belt is stabilizing, believe it or not, and wins are becoming just as valuable a currency as, well, currency.
