In turn, eight new teams were added: Arkansas–Little Rock, Arkansas State, Central Florida, Lamar, Louisiana Tech, New Orleans, Southwestern Louisiana, and Texas–Pan American. Most came from the newly-defunct American South Conference while UALR came over from the Trans-America Athletic Conference.

With all teams seeded based on regular-season conference records, the top five teams were given byes into the quarterfinal round while the bottom six teams were placed into the preliminary first round.
