2025 NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 - Postseason Poll (January 6)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Vikings of Grand View (Iowa) cap off their Red Banner finish with all 16 first-place votes in the NAIA Football GoRout Top 25 Postseason Poll. National Runner-Up Keiser (Fla.) finishes second while Morningside (Iowa) and Benedictine (Kan.) are tied for third. 

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".
