KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Grand View (Iowa) makes it a clean eight straight No. 1 rankings in the 2022 NAIA Men's Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 Poll, after securing yet another National Championship. Life (Ga.) once again plays runner-up to the Vikings; Southeastern (Fla.) leaped up from seventh entering the championship. 

Poll Methodology

• The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the nine conferences.
• Two days prior to the national poll, each qualifying group rater submits the top six individuals from each weight class in his conference into the system. Only wrestlers listed on a conference ballot are considered for the national ballot.
• The top 20 individuals in each weight class is based on how each voter ranks the best individuals. An individual receives 20 points for each first place vote, 19 for second place and so on through the list. This same point system is used to determine the team ranking.
• 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
• The postseason poll is determined using the individual and team results from the national championship
