2024 NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll - Postseason (December 18
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Dalton State (Ga.) caps off their magical run to the 2024 Red Banner by claiming all 15 first-place votes in the NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Postseason Poll. William Penn (Iowa) moves to second after their runner-up finish while Fab Four participants William Carey (Miss.) and Cumberlands (Ky.) leaps up the table. Eight new team are represented in the Top 25 from the edition before the playoffs began.
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”.
