Rating Methodology:
- The rating was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each NAIA Men’s Golf conference, and each conference is represented by one rater.
- The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, etc.
- The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed, and the team’s ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the team appears on.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered receiving votes.
