The Georgia Southern Eagles have won 115 games in the Southern Conference since joining the league in 1993, and lost 49. The Eagles have won or shared 10 SoCon titles in 20 years in the league — more than any other program in the span — and have more playoff appearances (13) than anybody else. They’ve won two national titles, more than anybody except Appalachian State (3), and have more national titles to their name (6) than any member of the SoCon or the Football Championship Subdivision.
