Be curious how far Mercer goes. Obviously still to be determined. Do they get a seed?

Assume 8 seed. If so then a bye is given. Then they get to Scout the two possible opponents. It’s the next game (quarterfinal) I think is 50/50.

Mercers draw is great.

#7 Seed Bye & then Rhode Island or Central Connecticut at home. If they can’t beat a padded record CAA Team or an NEC Team at home, they probably didn’t even deserve to be in the Playoffs. We saw what FU did to CAA Elon in Paladin Stadium in ‘22.

Then, likely off to the FargoDome, but Abilene Christian (lost to Texas Tech in OT) and Northern Arizona are dangerous Teams. Maybe they sneak up on the bizuns, shoot their wad, and come to Maconga spent, after Mercer coasts in their 2nd round game.

If not, the FargoDome, despite the noise, might be better on 12/14 than being in Bozeman, MT or Brookings, SD.

SoCon gets 1 team (of 24 teams) in the playoffs...

Mercer has 0 wins this year against playoff teams (10 wins against teams with 7 wins or less).....

If they fall to an 11-2 Rhode Island team in their first game of the playoffs on 12/7 then SoCon football will have hit the dark ages.....
