2023-24 NAIA Men's Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 – No. 5 (January 25)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Grand View (Iowa) returns to the top of the ratings after a one week hiatus, edging out Life (Ga.) by two points. Menlo (Calif.) remains third while the Fire of Southeastern (Fla.) rejoins the Top 5; Campbellsville (Ky.) slides down one spot. The same 20 teams are located in the rating this period, with Providence (Mont.) having the most positive upward movement.
Rating Methodology
- The rating was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the eight conferences/groups.
- Two days prior to the national rating, each qualifying group rater submits the top 10 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 25 individuals in each weight class is based on how each voter ranks the best individuals. An individual receives 25 points for each first place vote, 24 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
