The USA South Athletic Conference's football coaches have released their spring 2021 spring preseason polls. Each divisional preseason poll only includes votes from coaches within that particular division-only. Head coaches do not vote for their own teams in the balloting.

Due to complications stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 football season was postponed until the spring semester. Despite the delay to the start of the season, the USA South is prepared to offer regular season and championship experiences for its student-athletes despite the NCAA's cancelation of the national Division III tournament. An adjustment to this season's competition is that USA South football teams will be competing in Conference-sponsored regular season games within their division only.

The Bishops were selected as co-favorites to win the East Division along with Averett with 8 voting points and 2 first place votes each. Wesleyan is coming off a 6-4 season last year and 5-2 in the conference.

NCWC opens their season on the road at Averett in a non-conference tilt on March 6 at 1 PM before returning home on March 20 to host Methodist at 12:00 Noon. The Bishops will also travel to Greensboro on March 13 at 1 PM and host Averett on March 27 in their final regular season conference game.

The Spring 2021 USA South Football championship game, the first in League history, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, April 3 and will consist of the East Division and West Division champions at a site to be determined. Those teams not reaching the championship game will compete that day as well in a fashion that is yet to be determined.
