The Sports Network released its preseason FCS Top 25 poll today. The poll saw Jacksonville State land at No. 17 and Eastern Illinois come in at No. 18. Eastern Kentucky, Tennessee Tech and Austin Peay were among those receiving votes.
The other major FCS poll, the FCS Coaches Poll, will be released next Monday.
The OVC had some relative success and earned some respect in the national poll a year ago. During the season the OVC had a stretch were five weeks were three league teams were ranked in the Top 25 at the same time.
On Oct. 12 and 19 Jacksonville State was ranked 12th, the highest ranking the school had received since joining the FCS/I-AA ranks. It was the highest an OVC team had been ranked since Eastern Kentucky was No. 9 in the Nov. 19, 2007 Sports Network poll.
So what do you all think? What can we expect out of OVC teams in the national rankings this season?
