Northwest football picked 3rd in MIAA Preseason Polls while the Central Missouri Mules were picked as the favorite by MIAA head coaches and media representatives in the 2024 football preseason polls.

MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy announced the results of both the 2024 MIAA Preseason Coaches Poll and Media Poll in his opening statements at MIAA Media Day on Tuesday, July 23 in Kansas City.

The defending MIAA co-champions, the Central Missouri Mules, collected eight first-place votes from MIAA head coaches and totaled 20 first-place selections in the media poll. 

The league’s other defending MIAA co-champion, Pittsburg State, was picked second in both polls with two first-place nods from MIAA coaches and six from media representatives.

Below are the full results of both the 2024 MIAA Preseason Coaches Poll and the 2024 MIAA Preseason Media Poll.
