### Postseason

Since 1996, the MEAC earned an automatic bid into the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. As of the 2015 season, the conference champion will abstain from participating in the playoffs and compete against the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in the newly created Celebration Bowl. Any other team from the MEAC is able to participate in the playoff if they earn an at-large bid.

#### Bowl Games

| Date | Game | Site | Television | Teams | Affiliations | Results |
| Dec. 19 | Celebration Bowl | Georgia Dome Atlanta Georgia | ABC | #22 North Carolina A&T Alcorn State | MEAC SWAC | 41-34 |

#### Post Season Awards

As the MEAC regular season came to an end, the conference post season awards were announced. North Carolina A&T running back Tarik Cohen and South Carolina State's Javon Hargrave were named Conference Offensive and Defensive Players of the year, both of which received the top honors the previous season. Rounding out the postseason player selections were North Carolina Central's Dorrel McClain, who earned Rookie of the Year, and North Carolina A&T's Brandon Parker, was selected as the Offensive Lineman of the Year.
First-year head coach Terry Sims of Bethune-Cookman was selected as the MEAC Coach of the Year. Sims led the Wildcats to a share of the conference title, including a 9–2 overall finish and 7–1 mark in conference play. Highlights of the Wildcat's season include a victory over rival Florida A&M in their final game of the season which secured their stake in the conference title and entering the STATS FCS Top 25 poll in the final ranking of the season (25th) and reaching the FCS Coaches Poll with a 21st spot.
