What's the deal with Jackson State? They're FCS but don't participate in the playoffs? Coach Prime could've had a shot at the FCS Natty

The SWAC champion is contractually obligated to play in the Celebration bowl, so Jackson State and Prairie View were ineligible for the playoffs this year because they played the SWAC title game during the playoffs. But Florida A&M we’re able to go to the playoffs as an at large. As far as playing for a national championship, The SWAC stopped sending its champion to the playoffs because they hadn’t won a single playoff game in the past twenty years. And the team that went this year as an at large got blown out by a team that was pretty average and Jackson State barely squeaked by them in the regular season. So it’s unlikely that Jackson State would have won a playoff game had they participated this year. 
 

This signing though makes it look as though the winds may be changing for HBCUs going forward.
