9. FURMAN
The unseeded Paladins were two points away from advancing to the FCS quarterfinals, losing to conference rival Wofford 24-23. It was an intense race in the Southern Conference between those two teams along with Samford. Furman finished third at 6-2 in the league and has plenty of pieces to climb the standings in 2018.
Those pieces include 17 starters back with all 11 regulars on defense. Replacing All-SoCon quarterback P.J. Blazejowski is the biggest offseason question mark. But on paper, the Paladins should be a stronger team in 2018, meaning a playoff seed and a trip to the quarterfinals should be an expectation.
