2024-25 NAIA Men's Wrestling Coaches' Top 25 – Final (February 12)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Grand View (Iowa) remains in the top spot in the final NAIA Men's Wrestling Coaches' Top 25 Rating of the 2024-25 season with Life (Ga.) holding strong at second. The top five teams all remained the same in the final rating with Southeastern (Fla.) in third, Cumberlands (Ky.) in fourth, and Doane (Neb.) in fifth. Missouri Valley jumped the most of any team in the final ratings, up three spots to No. 15.
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
