Editor's Note: Taking a brief respite from our conference previews, here's (what should be) an even briefer look at Lindenwood University, a perennial NAIA power located in St. Charles, Missouri, that's beginning the transition to the NCAA Division II ranks.

2010 overall record in parentheses
Lindenwood (9-2): The Lions finished 9-1 in regular season action in what turned out to be their final campaign as an NAIA program. They reached the NAIA playoffs for the final time in program history, as well. But that postseason run for the Lions would prove to be brief, as they lost to St. Francis (Ind.) in a heartbreaker, 46-38.
Looking ahead to 2011, Lindenwood begins the transition to the NCAA Division II level with one of the strongest baptisms into a new division any team has probably undertaken. The Lions open the season on September 3, traveling to Northern Colorado from the NCAA Division I Football Subdivision (FCS)--(formerly NCAA Division I-AA). This year's schedule also includes against FCS transition team South Dakota, as well as games against notable D-II programs such as Central Missouri, Central Oklahoma, and Texas A&M-Kingsville.
