2023-24 NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25 - No. 2 (March 29)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Keiser (Fla.) jumps Dalton State (Ga.) for the top spot in the second NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25 of the season. Texas Wesleyan jumped four spots, sitting a fifth. Two new squads join the rankings this week in Webber International (Fla.) at No. 23 and Ave Maria (Fla.) at No. 25.
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.
