2017 Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns Football Schedule Realistic Best Case Scenario

The Ragin’ Cajuns start the season no worse than 2-2 in September, beating SE Louisiana and ULM, while at least showing up and fighting on the road against Tulsa and Texas A&M. They get past Idaho on the road at split the road dates against Arkansas State and South Alabama to stay alive in the Sun Belt title chase. With wins over New Mexico State and Georgia Southern to close, they take at least a share of the championship with one conference loss.

ULL loses at home to ULM for a 1-3 start, and then they can’t handle the run of four road games in five dates with losses to Idaho, Arkansas State and South Alabama. With Sun Belt title hopes over, the Ragin’ Cajuns close out strong with two home conference wins, but the bowl hopes are long gone after losing at Ole Miss.
