This may be the most important season in Texas State Football history. It’s the Bobcats’ last chance to win a Sun Belt title, their last chance to beat Louisiana as a conference foe, and the year that will define how they enter the Pac-12.

So here’s the question: if Texas State goes 8–4, is that enough to reach the Sun Belt Championship?

In this episode of Wizard Wednesday, we break it down:

The unfinished business Texas State needs to settle before leaving the Sun Belt

How our season prediction from Monday sets the stage for this discussion

What records it has historically taken to make the Sun Belt title game

And finally, the big question — does Texas State have to reach the championship game for 2025 to be considered a success?

Bobcat fans — what do you think? Does 8–4 get us in, or does this team need more? Drop your take in the comments.
