The Davidson Wildcats are the preseason favorites to win the Pioneer Football League for the upcoming 2022 season. Davidson received eight of the 11 first-place votes to earn 98 points in the poll. The Bulldogs came in at 10th with 30 points. Davidson has won a share of the last two PFL titles, which led to them appearing on top of the coaches' poll heading into the new season. Each head coach voted on the poll with 10 points going towards a first-place vote and one point less going to each succeeding place.

San Diego received three first-place votes to place second in the poll with 91 points. St. Thomas rounded out the top three with 78 points. Dayton landed in fourth place in the poll with 72 points. They finished ahead of Morehead State, a program that finished in a tie for third last season, yet were picked fifth in the 2022 preseason poll with 58 points. Marist was just behind Morehead State with 52 points and Drake followed in seventh with 42. Valparaiso (34 points) was picked to finish eighth. The Beacons were narrowly favored ahead of Stetson (33) and Butler (30), which were picked ninth and 10th, respectively. Presbyterian rounded out the 11-team preseason poll. - Butler Football

Drew Bevelhimer made the most of a second opportunity, kicking a 38-yard field goal on the game's final play, to lift Butler to a 24-21 victory over Valparaiso on Saturday. The game appeared headed for overtime after Valparaiso's Cody Boxrucker scored on a 5-yard run with 19 seconds remaining. Butler (3-8, 2-5 Pioneer Football League) got a 28-yard return from AJ Deinhart on the ensuing kickoff, giving the Bulldogs a first-and-10 at their own 35-yard line. On first down, Sam Brown hit Stephen Dennis for 15 yards putting the ball at midfield. On the next play, Brown ran for a 9-yard gain and the Crusaders. Jamari Booker was flagged for a personal foul. That set up a game-winning 43-yard attempt for Bevelhimer, who left it short but got another chance and delivered after Valparaiso (1-10, 1-6) was flagged for offsides.

Valpo's Chris Duncan hooked up with Ollie Reese twice in the second quarter, from 22 and 33 yards out. In between, Brown connected with Dennis for a 13-yard score and the Crusaders led 14-7 at halftime. Brown pulled Butler even in the third quarter when he hit Johnny O'Shea for a 5-yard score and gave the Bulldogs a 21-14 lead with 4:37 left in the game. Boxrucker's game-tying TD run capped an 11-play, 75-yard drive. Brown completed 23 of 38 passes for 209 yards and two scores without an interception. Dennis finished with 11 catches for a season-high 143 yards. Duncan passed for 264 yards and two scores with one pick. He also ran for 102 yards on 19 carries. - AP College Football
