2022-23 NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll - Poll 4 (March 31)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The NAIA Men's Golf Coaches Top 25 see three teams split the 19 first-place votes led by Keiser (Fla.) remaining the number one team in the country. OUAZ (Ariz.) received 11 of the votes while Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) grabbed the last one. Bellevue (Neb.) and Dalton State (Ga.) each slides down one place to fourth and fifth.

 

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.
