KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Keiser (Fla.) garnered all 13, first place votes in the fifth edition of the Top 25. The Seahawks remained in the same spot along with the rest of the top six squads. Cumberlands (Ky.) made the biggest move of the week, up six spots to No. 12 while Union (Ky.) joined the fray this week as the Bulldogs checked-in at No. 21.

Poll Methodology:

• The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences, and Unaffiliated Groupings.
• 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 ratings) 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 appears on.
• Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”
• The frequency of polls occurs bi-weekly. This policy was approved by the National Administrative Council (NAC) for the 2017-18 academic season. This change will allow raters the opportunity to consider a larger body of work in between rating periods.
