The Trojans can clinch a fourth straight Sun Belt Conference championship with a win Saturday afternoon over Florida Atlantic at Movie Gallery Veterans Stadium.
The Sun Belt champion regularly goes to the New Orleans Bowl. However, the Trojans could consider other options rather than go to New Orleans for the third time in four seasons.
"I'd rather play in New Orleans because it's close to home, but if we go somewhere else, I'll be happy, too," safety Courtland Fuller said. "It doesn't matter to me. I just want to keep on playing.
"I don't know the other bowl tie-ins or how that goes. I know we have to win to have a chance to go to a bowl."

Quarterback Jamie Hampton suffered a season-ending knee injury last season against the Owls, who allegedly celebrated on the field as Hampton was carted off.
A year later, with Florida Atlantic coming to Troy on Saturday, Hampton is being redshirted and his replacement, Levi Brown, is posting Sun Belt Conference player of the year numbers.
And the play still irritates some Trojans.
"I'm glad I got my chance to play, but I really wish it would have happened another way than Jamie tearing his ACL and suffering a season-ending injury," Brown said. "I'd never wish that on anyone, especially on him.
"I guess it worked out for me. I feel bad saying that."

After dominating Sun Belt Conference play all season, the Trojans needed just one simple win to wrap up a second straight New Orleans Bowl bid. Only there was nothing simple that day about Florida Atlantic.
A 38-32 loss left the Trojans home for the holidays, despite an eight-win season.
"We don't want the same thing to happen this year as my freshman year," junior receiver Jerrel Jernigan said. "We want to go undefeated in the conference this year."

This game will be blacked out locally on ESPN360 and ESPN Gameplan.
I hope the watch party has Comcast…

One more conference win is all the Troy Trojans need before it can book plane tickets back to a familiar place – New Orleans.
With a win today over visiting Florida Atlantic, the Trojans will secure its fourth straight Sun Belt championship.
However, before Troy begins dreaming about the post season, it has to get past an Owls team that has dealt the Trojans trouble in the past.
“These games [with FAU] are always competitive,” head coach Larry Blakeney said.
“We better be ready to face a great football team – we cannot let what happened two years ago happen again.”
