Rankings from The Sports Network poll

William & Mary's win over Richmond in the annual Capital Cup was also their first in the series since 2004. Richmond had won five straight contests—the longest such streak for the Spiders since a five-game stretch between 1919 and 1922—and it also capped the second consecutive regular season in which the Tribe went undefeated at home. Their last home loss (including playoffs) was November 22, 2008, against Richmond.

After receiving a first round bye in the playoffs, the number two-seed Tribe fell in their first playoff game, 31–15, to Georgia Southern. The game was played at home in front of a crowd of 8,243.
