2024 NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll - No. 4 (October 9)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dalton State (Ga.) is the new top team in the latest NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll, earning 13 of 16 first-place votes. Oklahoma Wesleyan jumps two spots to second and is awarded three first-place votes. Mobile (Ala.) rises four spots to third while St. Thomas (Fla.) falls to fourth. Bellevue (Neb.) rounds out the top five.
Poll Methodology:
- The poll is for publicity purposes only and has no weight or bearing in the selection process for national championship field consideration.
- A panel of head coaches representing each conference and Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) voted on the poll.
- The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter votes for the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 points for third-place and so on through the list.
- The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”.
