The University of the Cumberlands (9-2, 5-1 MSC) received six of the seven first-place votes and tallied 36 points in earning the moniker of division favorite. Shorter University (6-5, 3-3) was picked second with 27 points, with Bethel University (5-6, 4-2) third with 23 points.
Cumberland (5-6, 3-3) was tabbed fourth with 19 points, with Belhaven University (6-5, 4-2) receiving the other first-place vote and rated fifth overall with 18 points. Union College (4-6, 3-3) tied for fifth with Belhaven and Faulkner University (2-9, 0-6) was seventh with six points.

UVA-Wise (5-6, 4-2) obtained the other two first-place votes and was tabbed third with 29 points.
Pikeville College (3-8, 1-5) received 20 points and was fourth, while West Virginia Tech (3-8, 0-6), Kentucky Christian (1-9, 1-5) and Lindsey Wilson (first season of football) rounded out the poll.

The Tennessee Titans have announced the complete itinerary for Titans Caravan XIII, a regional series of school visits and free, public autograph signings beginning Monday, April 12. The annual caravan will include a pair of stops in Wilson County - a Thursday, April 15 visit to Logan's Roadhouse in Mt. Juliet and a Monday, April 19 stop at Kroger in Lebanon.
Players scheduled to attend to two Wilson County visits have yet to be announced. The Mt. Juliet visit will take place at 7 p.m., and the Lebanon visit will be held at 11 a.m. (Click here to view the complete Titans Caravan XIII itinerary).
In partnership with Titans Radio affiliates across the Mid-South, a total of 42 Caravan stops in Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama have been scheduled over a span of nearly two weeks, concluding just hours before the start of the 2010 NFL Draft on Thursday, April 22.
"It's hard to believe this is our 13th Titans Caravan," said Titans Senior Executive Vice President Steve Underwood in a press release issued by the Titans. "We've committed to it every year because there's no better way to experience the special bond that exists between this team and its fans. The Caravan allows us an opportunity to thank our supporters face to face over a large geographical area and also to touch a new generation of fans in the schools we visit."
Each day, different players headline Titans Caravan, joined by Titans mascot T-Rac, the "Voice of the Titans" Mike Keith, Titans Radio Gameday Host Larry Stone and other Titans staff members. The vast majority of Caravan visits are presented by one of nearly 70 affiliates of the Titans Radio Network, the exclusive radio home of the Titans.
Titans Caravan XIII will end with the organization's annual visit with soldiers and family members of the 101st Airborne Division and the 160th SOAR(A) of the U.S. Army at Fort Campbell, Ky. Multiple players, T-Rac and staff members will be part of five stops at the base on Thursday, April 22. Also, it will be the only stop on the Caravan to feature the Titans Cheerleaders. Later that evening, Titans decision-makers will gather at the club's home facility in Nashville for the first round of the NFL Draft.
Over the last 12 years, Titans Caravan has made over 600 stops and allowed the team to interact directly with an estimated audience well in excess of 100,000 fans. Since its beginning in 1998 as a small effort to spread goodwill through the region, the Caravan has evolved to include six full-time staffers that travel with Titans players, broadcasters and T-Rac throughout the Mid-South on a specially decorated motor coach from Premiere Transportation.
