Minnesota State, which fell to West Florida in the national championship game, is No. 1 in the 2020 College Football America Yearbook Division II preseason Top 30.
The Mavericks’ only loss last season came to the Argonauts, as they fell, 48-40. Minnesota State, coached by Todd Hoffner, returns as the likely favorite in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
