The 2011 Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference football season is made up of 10 college athletic programs that compete in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) under the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) for the 2011 college football season.
The season began play on August 27 when the Sterling Warriors played William Jewell, followed by the Victory Sports Network College Fanz First Down Classic.
The regular season ended play on November 12, 2011 with every team in the conference playing a game against another conference team. The final game of any team in the conference was November 19, 2011 when Ottawa lost in the first round of postseason play.
Conference rules require each team to play all other teams within the conference and two other regular season non-conference game for a total of 11 games. Previously, the conference only allowed a 10-game season.
The 2011 Spring coaches' poll placed three teams in the conference in the "Top 25" of the NAIA. McPherson received a No. 9 ranking, Ottawa was ranked at No. 10, and Kansas Wesleyan at #20. Sterling and Friends also received votes in the poll.
The 2011 preseason coaches' poll in August dropped McPherson from No. 9 to #12. Ottawa maintained its position as No. 10 and Kansas Wesleyan dropped from No. 20 to #21. As with the spring poll, both Sterling and Friends also received votes.
Schedule is subject to change.
Called "Week 0" or "Week Zero" because of the few number of games played, usually considered to be "specially scheduled" such as the traditional College Fanz First Down Classic, although any game played this week is considered a "regular season" game. Both KCAC teams that played this week lost.
The Sterling College Warriors began the 2011 season with a loss to NCAA Division II William Jewell. Sterling managed to score first with two field goals by kicker Doug Dunn in the first quarter but was no match as William Jewell rolled on with 33 points.
Sterling gave up five fumbles and only accumulated 227 yards of offense. It was the first football game for William Jewell since leaving the NAIA to join the NCAA. William Jewell gave up two fumbles and scored three rushing touchdowns during the game, leaving the final score 33–6
