Overview: In a tight race that came down to the final week of the regular season, both the Sterling College Warriors (9-3 overall) and the Tabor College Blue Jays (8-2) shared the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) championship for 2017, with both squads finishing 8-1 in KCAC action. However, thanks to their thrilling 23-21 win over Tabor on October 7, it was the Warriors that won the KCAC's automatic bid to the NAIA playoffs. Sterling's season ended in the first round, as Morningside cruised to an easy 63-7 win on November 18. Just for good measure, the Kansas Wesleyan University Coyotes (8-3) finished just one game behind both Sterling and Tabor at 7-2 in KCAC play.

Expect the race for the 2018 KCAC crown to be just as close, if not more so, as Sterling, Tabor, and Kansas Wesleyan all finished the 2017 campaign in the NAIA Top 25 poll. Don't be surprised if any of these three teams advance to the NAIA playoffs come November. 

Finally, the KCAC's membership will expand from 10 teams to 11 for 2018, with Avila University of Kansas City, Missouri from the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC). The addition of Avila means that all football-playing members of the KCAC will play all 10 of their regular-season games within the conference this fall.

NOTE: If the link to the team's schedule is not highlighted, it means that the team has not submitted its schedule for the 2018 season. When the team's schedule is submitted, the link (s) will appear in each blog post.
