2024 NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 - Rating No. 3 (September 23)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Keiser (Fla.) makes it four times in a row leading the NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 Ratings earning 16 of the 17 first-place votes. Second place Northwestern (Iowa) receivies the other one and they are followed by Grand View (Iowa), Montana Western, and Bethel (Tenn.).
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."
