2024 NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll - Final (November 6)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dalton State (Ga.) finishes the regular season on top of the NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll claiming 13-of-17 first-place votes. The Roadrunners have been the No. 1 team for three poll periods and are the fourth different team to hold the top line at some point this season. Oklahoma Wesleyan stays second with four first-place votes followed by Mobile (Ala.) in third. Missouri Valley moves up to fourth, William Penn (Iowa) into fifth and St. Thomas (Fla.) slips to sixth. 

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”.
