2020-21 NAIA Men's Volleyball Coaches' Top 15 Poll
Jan 27, 2021
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Grand View (Iowa) is No. 1 in the first regular-season 2020-21 NAIA Men's Volleyball Coaches' Top 15.
Poll Methodology
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences, Association of Independent Institutions and Unaffiliated Groups.
- The Top 10 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 12 points for each first-place vote, 11 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"
