Mercer? Mercer?. Why is such a powerhouse such Bama playing such a patsy such as Mercer this late in the season.?
As you know, the schedules are drawn up in advance, but I don't know why they'd play Mercer, PERIOD. Talk about a mismatch!

You new to following football? Alabama plays an SEC West schedule so there should be no complaints. The also played out of conference FSU when they were considered a Top 5 team.
Auburn played Mercer this year too. You can go down any team’s schedule and you’ll find they’ve all played a few cupcakes.
Good scheduling. Bama and Auburn both normally schedule a lesser opponent before the annual Iron Bowl. They can use most of two weeks preparing for the IB and also provide the needed big payday for smaller programs.
