2022-23 NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll - Poll 3 (March 17)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Keiser (Fla.) Seahawks receive all first-place votes to once again be the clubhouse leader in the poll. Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) moves into the second position while Bellevue (Neb.) drops one spot to third. Dalton State (Ga.) and USC Beaufort (S.C.) moved up two spots each to reach the Top Five.
Poll Methodology
• The poll 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 voter 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.
