2024 NAIA Men's Cross Country Coaches' Top 25 Rating - Final (November 11)
Nov 11, 2024
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - College of Idaho remains at No.1 in the latest NAIA Men's Cross Country Coaches' Top 25 Rating. The Top 5 teams remained the same as the last rating, while Carroll (Mont.) moved into the ranking at 25.
Rating Methodology
- The rating is rated by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and unaffiliated groupings.
- The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater rates the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 for third-place and so on through the list.
- The highest and lowest ratings for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) are removed. The team’s rating will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the team appears on.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”.
