I think any conference loss by Troy helps us, this is from the Sun Belt site:
Championship Game Tiebreaker Format
The Sun Belt Conference Football Champion shall be decided by a game played between the East and West Division Champions. A Division Champion shall be the team with the highest winning percentage in all Conference games both divisional and non-divisional. A tie football game shall count as half-a-game won and half-a-game lost in the standings. The following tiebreaker formula shall be used to break all ties within the division.
Two Teams
Head-to-head result between tied teams;
If still tied, winning percentage of the tied teams within the division;
If still tied, head-to-head competition against the team within the division with the next best overall Conference winning percentage (3, 4, and 5) breaking ties using the Conference tiebreaking procedures proceeding through the division until one team prevails;
If still tied, combined highest winning percentage against all common non-divisional conference opponents;
If still tied, if one team was ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings and wins in the final weekend of the Conference regular season, it will be declared the Division Champion. If in that same scenario, the team that was the highest ranked team in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings loses in the final weekend of the Conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Billingsley, Colley and Wolfe) will be used to determine the Division Champion;
If there are multiple teams ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings, the highest-ranked team that wins in the final weekend of the Conference regular season will be declared the Division Champion;
If none of the ranked teams win on the final weekend of the Conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Billingsley, Colley and Wolfe) that include all games on the final weekend of the Conference regular season, will be used to determine the Division Champion;
If no teams are ranked in the latest available CFP Selection Committee rankings going into the final weekend of the Conference regular season, a composite average of selected computer rankings (Anderson & Hester, Billingsley, Colley and Wolfe) that include all games on the final weekend of the Conference regular season, will be used to determine the Division Champion;
If still tied, the team with the highest overall (Conference and non-Conference) winning percentage against FBS teams shall be the Division Champion;
If still tied, coin toss will be conducted by the Commissioner.

Re: ULM?
I stand corrected...Good info! I still prefer Troy and App go into the last game of the regular season undefeated in conference play to help SOS for hosting SB championship and increase fan/media interest with a potential top 25 ranking on the line.

Re: ULM?
Troy and Ark State don't play this year, so App has the tougher road this year after getting off lightly last year.

Re: ULM?
Hey, I had to look it up as we're all new at this divisional thing. If we win out, which won't be easy, but definitely doable with this team we have; we'll be hosting because we'd have beaten Ark State in the head-to-head game.
