Texas Southern (0-1)*
Despite being in football talent-rich Texas, Texas Southern has never really been a powerhouse on the field. It did manage to make it to the 2011 title game and win, beating Alabama State 11-6, but that loss was later vacated due to NCAA violations. So TSU is technically winless in the championship era.
Prairie View (1-0)
Like its Texas neighbor, TSU, Prairie View has struggled to make it to the championship game in the SWAC West. It’s lone win and appearance came in 2009 when head coach Henry Frazier led PVAMU to a 30-24 win over Alabama A&M for its first SWAC title since 1964.
UAPB 1-1
Pine Bluff broke Grambling and Southern’s streak of eight straight SWAC West champs from Louisiana in 2006, but dropped the ball by losing to Alabama A&M 22-13. It would have to wait six more years to get back to the big show, but this time it finished the job as it edged out Jackson State 24-21 in a thriller in 2012.
