Poll Methodology

The national poll is for publicity purposes only and does not influence the selection process for national championship consideration.
A panel of head coaches representing each conference and the Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) votes in the poll.
The Top 10 teams are selected using a points-based system:
- 15 points for a 1st-place vote, 14 for 2nd, 13 for 3rd, and so on.
The highest and lowest rankings received by each team are discarded before final tallying.
Teams receiving only one point are not listed as “receiving votes.”
For the Preseason Poll, there is no "previous ranking" column since it is the initial poll and differs from the prior rating system.
