Looking back: Northwestern Oklahoma State went unbeaten in Central States Football League play at 5-0 in 2010. The Rangers then advanced to the NAIA playoffs, where they were eliminated by eventual national runner-up Sioux Falls in the first round.
Looking ahead: While Southern Nazarene is on its way to becoming an NCAA Division II program, Northwestern Oklahoma State must wait at least another year, as the NCAA rejected its request to become a provisional member of D-II.

Predicted order of finish (2010 overall record in parentheses)
1. Northwestern Oklahoma State (8-3): Even with the rejection by the NCAA to join Division II, the Rangers non-conference schedule will consist of teams such as Colorado State-Pueblo, Oklahoma Panhandle State, and Southwestern Oklahoma State, all of whom compete at the D-II ranks, as well as NCAA Division I FCS transition team South Dakota. Additionally, NWOSU will host another D-II team in Missouri S&T, on October 1.
2. Southern Nazarene (7-4): The Crimson Storm has one just losing season (3-8 in 2008) in the 11-year history of its program. However, SNU has never won more than seven games in any one season, either, nor have made the playoffs.
3. Langston (6-4): Interim head coach Mickey Joseph inherits a Lions program that finished third in the CSFL at 3-2 in 2010.
4. Bacone (3-8): Warriors start fresh under new head coach Trevor Rubly.
5. Southwestern Assemblies of God (2-8): The Lions lone wins of 2010 came outside of CSFL play, over Trinity Bible College, as well as Haskell Indian Nations.
6. Texas College (1-9): The Steers may won just one game last season, but it came in conference play, against the Southwestern Assemblies of God, in the season finale.
