'''Note''': Prior to the season Massachusetts left to join the [[2012 Mid-American Conference Football|{{mac}}]]. [[Georgia State]], formerly [[2011 NCAA Division I FCS Independents|independent]], joined the conference.

'''Note''': After the season [[Albany]] joined from the [[2012 Northeast Conference Football|{{nec}}]] and [[Stony Brook]] joined from the [[2012 Big South Conference Football|{{bsouth}}]]. Georgia State left to move to [[NCAA Division I FBS]] and join the [[2013 Sun Belt Conference Football|{{sunb}}]]. Old Dominion left to become [[2013 NCAA Division I FCS Independents|independent]] for their first year of transition to Division I FBS. Georgia State's games did not count in the conference standings, as they began their transition after joining the conference but before the season began; as a result, Georgia State was a conference member for one year but played no conference games at all. Old Dominion's games did count, as they were still non-transitioning members of Division I FCS. Neither team was eligible for the conference title due to conference rules barring teams from eligibility after announcing their departure.
