Selection is second for Mercer in preseason
MACON, Ga. – With less than two months until the first game, Mercer football found its way to another preseason ranking.
College Football Network has tabbed the Bears at No. 16 in their initial preseason poll, the publication announced Thursday.
A season ago, Mercer completed its best Southern Conference season in program history – a 6-2 mark and fell just short in the final regular season game against ETSU, which determined the SoCon championship.
The Bears are joined by a pair of league foes – Chattanooga (12) and ETSU (17) – in the poll.
Mercer will start the 2022 season on Aug. 27 at Five Star Stadium. Kickoff against Morehead State is slated for 7 p.m.
