How to read the lines. Each line names the favored team and the number of points, shown with a minus sign: the team named is the favorite. The model line is KickTip analysis, not a market line, and the market consensus is shown only where at least two books list a line. The two can differ a lot: right now the biggest gap between a model line and its market line is 19.5 points, which usually means our rating and the market disagree about a team. Information only.

  • Locked

Chance to reach the title game if the team wins all of its remaining conference games (model).

How Sun Belt ties are broken

When two teams finish tied in conference play, Sun Belt applies these steps in order until one team is ahead:

  1. Head-to-head result between the two teams
  2. Record against division opponents
  3. Record against the highest-placed team in the division standings, then the next
  4. Record against common non-division opponents
  5. Ranking-based step (CFP rank, computer composite or similar): KickTip uses its rating as a stand-in
  6. Win percentage against FBS opponents
  7. Random draw (coin toss)

Ties among three or more teams use a similar list, starting with results among the tied teams. This is a plain-English summary of the official policy; the official text controls.

Known limitations

  • The Sun Belt is still divisional in 2026: the East and West division champions meet in the title game.
  • The policy's CFP-ranking and computer composite steps are replaced by KickTip's rating.
  • Division membership follows the 2026 division lists (Louisiana Tech in the West).
