2024 NAIA Men's Volleyball Coaches' Top 15 Rating - Final (April 17)
Apr 17, 2024
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Master's (Calif.) remains at No. 1 in the latest edition of the 2024 NAIA Men's Volleyball Coaches' Top 15 Rating. Cornerstone (Mich.) rejoined the Top 15 this week. Park (Mo.) made the largest move up four spots to No. 8.
Rating Methodology
- The rating was rated by a panel of head coaches. There are two coaches representing each of the conferences/Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)/unaffiliated groups.
- The Coaches' Top 15 is determined by a points system based on how each rater ranks the best teams. A team receives 20 points for each first-place vote, 19 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 on the ballot are not considered "receiving votes"
