2024 NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 - Rating No. 8 (October 28)

Oct 28, 2024

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Seahawks of Keiser (Fla.) are the top squad in the latest edition of the NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 Ratings, receiving all but one first-place votes. Grand View (Iowa) once again grabs the last first-place vote and sits in second. Indiana Wesleyan remains third and and St. Thomas (Fla.) fifth, while Montana Western leapfrogs into fourth position.

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."
