2017 R+L Carries New Orleans Bowl
Last season, the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl featured North Texas out of Conference USA and Troy out of the Sun Belt. North Texas finished in first place in the Conference USA West Division but lost to Florida Atlantic in the Conference Championship. Troy was the co-champions of the Sun Belt Conference after beating Arkansas State in the regular season finale. Troy would go on to defeat North Texas in the 2017 New Orleans Bowl 50 – 30.
