Preseason outlook
The conference rankings were released on August 5.[ 2] In a repeat of last year's preseason rankings Central Oklahoma was ranked 10th in the Coaches Poll and 11th in the Media Poll.[ 2]
Every Central Oklahoma game was broadcast on KNAH 99.7 F.M. for the second consecutive season.[ 3]
As part of the MIAA network slate of games, the Missouri Southern State and Nebraska–Kearney games aired locally on a tape delayed basis on the Sunday night following the games. The MIAA reserved the last week of the TV schedule to be a flex game with significant importance to conference. The Bronchos game against Pittsburg State was added to the TV schedule.[ 4]
