NAIA Football: Week 1 Outlook

by cfbmemes_

Week 0 is the appetizer that you cannot order more of until that main course of Week 1 hits.

We learned a lot from the NAIA last week with multiple ranked teams in action. No. 9 Reinhardt still looks to be the dominant team in the Appalachian Conference, while No. 24 Faulkner should be competitive in the Mid-South.

The new eras at Georgetown, Cumberlands, and Lindsey Wilson all took off as well as expected. How about Jamestown scoring a big victory in their rivalry game against Valley City State?

A lot of excitement is on the horizon for NAIA football, so let’s take a look at what games are happening this week. Note that the rankings are from the preseason. The next poll will not be released until Sept. 12.
