Editor's note: In the event of a tie, the team with the better seed will prevail based on the results of our fall mascot contest.
11. Fishburne Military Caissons (Virginia)
The Caissons are named for the “usually 2-wheeled vehicle for artillery ammunition attachable to a horse-drawn limber,” according to Merriam-Webster. Fishburne Military can probably rest easy that the nickname is all theirs at this point.
14. Prescott Curley Wolves (Arkansas)
In the 1920s, after the Prescott football team delivered a thrashing of Little Rock, an Arkansas Gazette news editor wrote the headline, “WE THINK THAT THE BOYS ARE CURLEY WOLVES.” The team loved it, and they’ve been the Curley Wolves ever since.
