Lindsey Wilson College has once again been voted 1^st with a total of 81 points with 9 of the 1^st-place votes while Georgetown College was voted 2^nd with 68 points and the final 1^st-place vote.  Finishing out the top three is Cumberland University in its first full year of membership with the MSC with 58 points.

Voted 4^th in the conference is Campbellsville University with 56 points followed by Cumberlands.  Trailing UC is Shawnee State University (44), the University of Rio Grande (34), the University of Pikeville (25), St Catharine College (24), and new MSC addition Bluefield College (10) to round out the Preseason Poll.
