Though FUBeAR suspects Mercer will drop entirely out of all human polls that are released after Week 0/1, as the Pundits, Prognosticators, and Poll Voters will always look for any reason to SoCon bash & undervalue - such as a double- digit win over a decent-quality (Massey has UNA @ #72, just below Charleston Southern and just above Tennessee Tech) Team - reliable and unbiased Kenneth Massey moved the Bears up 2 spots to #13.
