RFC Summer Semester--Central States Football League Preview (NAIA)

What it is: The Central States Football League (CSFL) begins its 11th season of play in the NAIA, having started just 10 years ago, in 2000. Current members are located in Oklahoma and Texas, although there have been former members from as far away as Missouri (Lincoln University) and Nebraska (Peru State) that have competed in the CSFL.

There are currently six full members, as well as an "alliance" member in NCAA Division II Oklahoma Panhandle State, whose games don't count in the CSFL standings.

1. Langston (8-4): The Lions look to return to the NAIA playoffs after losing in the first round last year.

2. Northwestern Oklahoma State (7-3): Despite finishing unbeaten at 5-0 in CSFL play last season, the Rangers were declared ineligible for the league title.

3. Southern Nazarene (6-5): The Crimson Storm finished third in the CSFL at 3-2 in 2009.

4. Southwestern Assemblies of God (3-7): The Lions non-conference schedule includes games against NCAA Division III Howard Payne and Austin College.

5. Bacone (1-8): The Warriors hope to put the misery of 2009 behind them, and move forward in 2010.

6. Texas College (0-11): After a winless season in 2009, the Steers have nowhere to go but up in 2010.
