T-12 – Jacksonville State Gamecocks
As an FCS team, Jacksonville State almost automatically gets put in the de facto 12th spot. That being said, it’s hard to say if Jacksonville State is better than Virginia. While the Cavaliers are one of the worst teams on paper in the FBS it’s hard to say Jacksonville State is hard. That being said, the Gamecocks return one of the top ten teams in all of FCS. The Jackets can’t take them easy or the Gamecocks may just pull off a stunner. Their a strong overall team and will be ready to play come September 9th.
