2023-24 NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25 - Preseason (August 25)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Keiser (Fla.) begins the 2023-24 campaign atop the preseason rankings, including eight first-place votes in the NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25. Reigning National Champion British Columbia grabs 11 first-place votes and sits in second place followed by Lindsey Wilson (Ky.), Dalton State (Ga.), and Bellevue (Neb.).
Ranking Methodology
• The ranking 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.
