STATESBORO — Georgia Southern won just about everything in 2014 — except the chance to celebrate in the postseason.Playing in their first season as a FBS team, the Eagles won the Sun Belt Conference with an 8-0 mark. As a first-year FBS team, Georgia Southern, 9-3 overall, was ineligible for a bowl. Its appeal for bowl eligibility was denied by the NCAA. That mix of success and frustration left the Eagles still aiming for the first bowl berth in school history.
