2026-27 Outlook
LangIndex projects Jacksonville at #307 nationally for the 2026-27 college basketball season with a projected efficiency margin of -3.3 points per 100 possessions. That's roughly in line with last season's #312 finish. This projects as a development year.
Only 24% of last season's minutes return, so this roster will look very different. Expect some early-season volatility while new pieces settle in. The program adds 1 incoming recruit to the mix.
Last Season (2025-26)
Jacksonville finished 2025-26 at 10-20, ranked #312 in the final LangIndex ratings with adjusted offense of 97.9 and adjusted defense of 119.3 points per 100 possessions.
How LangIndex Rates Jacksonville
Jacksonville's power rating of -3.3 is an adjusted efficiency margin: the points per 100 possessions the model expects them to outscore an average Division I team by, once you strip out schedule strength. It combines adjusted offensive efficiency, adjusted defensive efficiency, and pace into one number, so a rating of -3.3 means Jacksonville projects to lose to a neutral-court average team by about 2 points on a typical night.
