The Baker Wildcats are No. 8 in the 2021 College Football America Yearbook’s NAIA Preseason Top 30.
The Wildcats are one of the highest-ranked Heart of America Athletic Conference programs in the CFA preseason Top 30.
Baker, a perennial power in the HAAC, is coming off a 6-0 regular season in the fall, during which the Wildcats saw four different games either canceled or postponed due to COVID-19. The Wildcats came back for the NAIA playoffs in the spring, beating Olivet Nazarene, 59-54, in the first round. In the quarterfinals, Baker fell to Morningside, 45-29.
Baker finished up with a 7-1 overall record. The Wildcats have won the HAAC South Division title every year since 2015, and the league’s coaches picked the Wildcats to win the title again in the HAAC’s recent preseason poll.
Baker opens the season on the road on Aug. 28 at Culver-Stockton. The Wildcats open the home portion of their schedule against William Penn on Sept. 4.
