PRINCETON, W.Va. -- Fairmont State's football team was picked to finish seventh in the WVIAC in a vote conducted by the league's coaches. Defending WVIAC champion West Liberty will turn to one of Division II's most potent offensive attacks in their quest for school's first back-to-back league crowns since 1970 and 1971. 

WLU received eight of nine first place votes and is the runaway choice by league coaches to take the 2010 WVIAC football title. Traditional power Shepherd garnered the other first place vote and is second. Charleston, Glenville State, and Concord hold the third through fifth spots in tight voting.  Seton Hill, Fairmont State, West Virginia Wesleyan, and West Virginia State round out the poll.
