KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dalton State (Ga.) continues to hold the top line in the NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25, claiming 14 first-place votes. Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) takes over second,  receiving the final five first-place votes. Keiser (Fla.) drops down one spot to third and Oklahoma City slots in fourth.

Rating Methodology

• The rating was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences. 
• Each conference is represented by one rater. 
• The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-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 and the team’s ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the teams appear on. 
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.
