2022 NAIA Women's Volleyball Coaches' Top 25 Poll - No. 2
Sep 14, 2022
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Midland (Neb.) is the new No. 1 in the latest edition of the 2022 NAIA Women's Volleyball Coaches' Top 25 Poll.
Poll Methodology
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and Unaffiliated Groups.
- The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second place and so on through the list.
- 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 (including discounted ballots) that the teams appear on.
- Teams that receive only one point on the ballot are not considered "receiving votes"
