Emory & Henry is one of five SAC schools to be mentioned in this week's AFCA poll. Lenoir-Rhyne University is 17th while Carson-Newman is 18th. In addition to the Wasps, Limestone University and Wingate University are also receiving votes.

The last time Emory & Henry received votes in a national poll was in 2014 when it started the year 5-0. The Wasps were recognized by D3football.com the week after they defeated Bridgewater College to remain the final undefeated team in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference on their way to an 8-2 (5-2 ODAC) record.

E&H will visit Anderson University (3-3, 1-3 SAC) on Saturday for a 1:00 p.m. SAC showdown with the Trojans.
