The College Football News 2019 college football rankings after Week 12.

As always, the CFN Rankings are based on the results, schedules, and head-to-head matchups as much as possible.

Also, as always, if you have an issue or a question about a ranking, go ahead and tweet us @ColFootballNews and we’ll try to figure it out/explain. If you see something that looks REALLY off, look at the schedule and follow the trail from there – or notice the one horrific loss or wildly big win.

Red Wolves Win Despite Making Every Effort to Lose

It was ugly, and yet, it was also a win for Arkansas State

Contact @astatefanrules

[jwplayer PkCtjTd4-boEY74VG]

Penalties. Ejections. Muffed picks. Puzzling play calls. Spirit-crushing turnovers. The Red Wolves dug deep into Chagrin’s Hip Pocket to find every and any measure to lose the game. But when the rubber pellets settled, the Red Wolves had somehow managed a victory over the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers.

Everybody seemed to be in on the crime. Layne Hatcher tossed a pair of picks, one to a defensive back who was all by his lonesome. Special teams contributed a fumble – adding to the four offered by the offense. The defense, made even more shorthanded by Darrean Jackson’s ejection following two unsportsmanlike penalties, carried the team as best they could, making big plays that included a pair of picks, one for a score. It wasn’t enough to lose, however.

With less than 3:00 on the clock, the Chants took a 27-21 lead after collecting another turnover. But the Red Wolves’ 2-minutes offense resulted in a Layne Hatcher to Kirk Merritt score with only half a minute remaining. The defense shut the lid on the game 15 seconds later, securing another year of bowl eligibility for Arkansas State.

A-State’s Omar Bayless chipped in 102 yards and a TD, while CJ Marable for Coastal racked up 142 yards and a score.

If want in on this week’s games, sign up with BetMGM

What’s Going To Happen

All of a sudden, Arkansas State is right back in it.

The Red Wolves already lost to Louisiana, but if they can win out and get two Ragin’ Cajun losses, they’ll take the West.

Getting bowl eligible first would be nice. There’s a backstop with a layup against South Alabama at the end of the season, but a win takes away some of the drama – it might take seven wins to be guaranteed a bowl somewhere.

Coastal Carolina has lost four of its last five, but with ULM and Texas State to close out, getting two more wins to get to six is possible.

That’s not going to happen against ASU on the road.

The Chanticleer defense has been getting crushed agains the run – allowing 225 yards or more in three of the last four games – and it’s not generating a consistent enough offense to make up for it.

Arkansas State will have a little bit of balance, but it’ll work mostly on the ground for over 200 yards for the third game in a row to get to six wins and bowl eligibility.

Pffffffffft. The air went out of the balloon with a bizarre clunker of a 49-28 loss to Troy.

The Eagles still need a win to go bowling, and there’s a problem if they don’t get it here. Going to Arkansas State will be a problem, and finishing up against Georgia State will be dangerous.

Fortunately, the ULM run defense is a mere suggestion.

The Warhawks were run around and through by Georgia State last week for over 400 yards, and have allowed well over 900 yards with 11 touchdowns in the last three games.

Caleb Evans and the ULM offense will have a whole lot of fun against a Georgia Southern defense that will give up over 200 yards in an interesting back-and-forth battle.

What’s Going To Happen

Now there’s the Texas State passing game.

First year head coach Jake Spavital has been trying to get it all moving with a quick pace and tempo, but the results have been hit-or-miss. Against South Alabama last week, the Bobcats got 373 yards and three scores out of Tyler Vitt in win, and now there’s still hope.

It’s not going to happen, but TXST can still get bowl eligible. Going to Appalachian State and Coastal Carolina will make it tough, but winning in the home finale would be a wonderful step.

Troy has to deal with the Sun Belt’s two best teams to close things out – at Louisiana and against Appalachian State. It has to win two of the last three, so if it loses in San Marcos, forget about going bowling.

The secondary has been getting picked apart too much, but the offense has been working with 273 rushing yards last week in the win over Georgia Southern.

It’s a wildly inconsistent Trojan team, but it’ll get just enough out of sophomore RB DK Billingsley and company to win in a surprisingly fun shootout. Texas State’s offense will work again, but it won’t be come through late.

What’s Going To Happen

Appalachian State can’t clinch the East title, but it can come really, really close if it wins and gets a loss out Georgia Southern vs. ULM.

Georgia State just lost to the Warhawks, but it doesn’t matter. It’s already bowl eligible, and it wins the East by beating ASU, hitting the South Alabama layup, and then taking out Georgia Southern in the finale.

The Panther offense lost star quarterback Dan Ellington to a slight knee injury against ULM. Freshman Quad Brown stepped in and struggled, but the ground attack should still work.

Tra Barnett and company managed over 800 yards over the lat two games, and 340 rushing yards or more in four of the last five games. Now it’ll run into the Appalachian State brick wall of a run defense that got hit hard bye Georgia Southern’s option attack, and nothing else.

ASU’s offense that’s been slightly inconsistent will be fine on the road, the defense will keep Brown from throwing well, and it’ll be another big road win after the 20-15 shocker over South Carolina.

Sun Belt Heat is sponsored by O’Doul’s. Premium content requires a premium, non-alcoholic pilsner. 

Literally and pragmatically, roughly half the Sun Belt field is playing solely for life’s most valuable coin: pride. Go get that pride! Everybody else wants that Sun Belt hardware.

In the East, Georgia State and Georgia Southern did Appalachian State a solid by falling to conference opponents, giving the Mountaineers a nice one-game cushion while enjoying the Sun Belt’s first ever College Football Playoff ranking.

Out West, Louisiana enjoys the same one-game buffer with Arkansas State and ULM. The Cajuns finish the season hosting Troy and ULM and get a road game against the conference’s cadaver, South Alabama, this week.  In summation, four teams are looking at one of two teams to “F” up. That’s the analysis, people. It’s all I got.

Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (4-5) @ Arkansas State Red Wolves (5-4), Thursday, November 16, 2:00 PM on ESPN+

Red Wolves get the 12.5-point home advantage

After the Chants dusted Kansas and finished the non-con with a 3-1 record, if felt like Coastal Carolina was positioned to make the East a more interesting division. One conference win later, it’s clear that the East is interesting enough and the Chanticleers are still a baseball school, despite getting a solid year from RB C.J. Marable. Red Wolves are on a two-game win streak, is second only to Troy in passing offense and will enter Saturday’s game rested from the Bye. Unless the Chants do something weird – like field 11 Love Boat guest stars or trick the Red Wolves into subscribing to three years of Disney+ – Arkansas State should out-muscle Coastal Carolina.

VERDICT: Red Wolves flex

ULM Warhawks (4-5) @ Georgia Southern (5-4), Thursday, November 16, 2:00 PM on ESPN+

Eagles are chosen by a higher power to win by 7

This isn’t the O’Doul’s “Maintain Your Edge” Game of the Week, but damn it’s sobering and refreshing. Warhawks like to pile on points and yards, courtesy of Caleb Evan’s arm and leg. The Eagles aren’t much for points this season, but they do boast the nation’s 11th best rushing offense (behind Louisiana and Georgia State) and have overcome a sluggish start to remain in contention in the East. However, Georgia Southern is coming off a crummy loss to Troy, who boasts a similar high power offense. The Warhawks won’t stop the Eagles on the ground very often – but a couple stops might be all ULM needs.

VERDICT: Warhawks slip in a win

Troy Trojans (3-5) @ Texas State Bobcats (3-6), Saturday, November 16, 2:00 PM on ESPN3

Eagles by a field goal

Man, Troy has sucked all year. Yet they delivered a flying elbow to the Eagles last week, so maybe the Trojan defense has finally caught up to Kaleb Barker and the offense. Even if it hasn’t, don’t expect too much fight from the Bobcats, who is offensively challenged and will likely throw more picks that TD passes on Saturday.

VERDICT: Troy slobberknocks the Bobcats

Louisiana Ragin Cajuns (7-2) @ South Alabama Jaguars (1-8), Saturday, November 16, 4:00 PM on ESPN+

Cajuns by 28 spicy points

This might be the worst game in the world.

VERDICT: Cajuns up by 28 after 1Q

O’Doul’s “Maintain Your Edge” Sun Belt Game of the Week

#25 Appalachian State Mountaineers (9-1) @ Georgia State Panthers (6-3), Saturday, November 16, 6:30 PM on ESPNU

The Mountaineers have the 16.5-point Edge

After becoming the highest ranked Sun Belt team ever by the AP, the Mountaineers followed it up by breaking into the “poll that matters,” the College Football Playoff Committee Poll. Two Power Five victories on the road and a stranglehold on a division will get you that. Meanwhile, the Panthers pretty much sapped the chill out of the O’Doul’s here by 1) losing to ULM and 2) losing dual-threat QB Dan Ellington for “an undisclosed amount of time.” Georgia State’s defense is ranked 116th in the nation. With Ellington, the Panthers might have traded scores and maybe received a bit of home magic. Without Ellington, the prognosis is pain.

VERDICT: Mountaineers yodel merrily out of Georgia
