- West Chester has been playing football since 1920, and Lincoln shows results as far back as 1894, but this is the first time that the two schools located less than 25 miles apart will face each other on the gridiron.
- Also for the first time ever, West Chester will play the Lackawanna Falcons. Lackawanna fills the void in the conference after Mercyhurst transitioned to Division I two years ago. For geographic purposes, Lock Haven will move back to the PSAC West (where they were prior to 2013) and Lackawanna will compete in the East division. Lackawanna is transitioning from a junior college to a four-year institution. The game will count in the PSAC standings, however it will not be considered a Division II game as Lackawanna has not officially applied to transition to Division II.
- The Golden Rams will face two teams that qualified for the Division II playoffs last season: PSAC champion Kutztown which advanced to the national semifinals, and Indiana.
- West Chester is scheduled to make two long treks to the northwest corner of the state when they face Edinboro in week 3 and then Gannon on the last week of the season. The Golden Rams can avoid that trip to Erie in the middle of November by winning the PSAC East, in which case they will travel to the PSAC West winner for the PSAC championship game.
- West Chester will host three evening games against Indiana, Shepherd and Lackawanna.
- Including their own, the Golden Rams will participate in three homecoming games and three senior days.
