2024 NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 - Final Rating (November 17)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Keiser (Fla.) runs the table and finishes the regular season claiming all first-place votes in the NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 Ratings. The top 13 teams are unchanged from a week ago while two teams jump into the final rating. Nine teams moved up highlighted by Campbellsville (Ky.) jumping up four places. 

Rating Methodology:

  • The rating is rated by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences. Each conference is given one rater for every four schools in the league or division.
  • The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater rates the best teams. A team receives 25 points for each first-place vote, 24 for second-place, 23 for third-place and so on through the list.
  • The highest and lowest ratings for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) are removed. The team’s rating 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."
