Still at #7 after being blown out by unranked Samford 55-35 lol. At one point, Mercer was down 42-7.
Herder claims that most teams have a bad game and that Mercer's overall body of work still warrants them to stay put at #7 lol. I don't get it haha. If you lose, especially badly to an unranked team, you should drop at least a little bit in the polls. Hell, he dropped Montana from #3 to #10 after Montana's 3-point loss on the road to #23 North Dakota. Yeah, I understand that the "polls are meaningless".
