SWAC spring football outlook

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama --That every week is a championship week has taken on renewed meaning in the SWAC.

The conference championship game has been eliminated and the Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl bid will be decided by the regular season. This comes just one year after the 10 teams dropped from playing a nine-game conference schedule to just seven games.

It might create some squawking in late November – especially if the division champs haven’t played each other – but the teams are turning up the focus already.

Following is a look across the SWAC with spring practices underway in college football:

EAST DIVISION

ALABAMA A&M

HEAD COACH: Connell Maynor (first season; 65-31 overall)

2017 RECORDS: 4-7, 3-4 SWAC East (Tie/3rd)

SPRING PRACTICES: Feb. 23-March 19 (spring game is March 17)
