2021-2022 NAIA Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 Poll – Postseason
May 17, 2022
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - After the 2022 NAIA Women's Wrestling Invitational, Campbellsville (Ky.) backs up their top ranking to claim the Red Banner. The race for second place was a tight call between Southern Oregon, Menlo (Calif.), and Life (Ga.). There was only one change in the Top 20 teams as Missouri Valley replaced Hastings (Neb.) in 20th.
Poll Methodology
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the five conferences.
- Two days prior to the national poll, each qualifying group rater submits the top six 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 20 individuals in each weight class is based on how each voter ranks the best individuals. An individual receives 20 points for each first place vote, 19 for second place and so on through the list. This same point system is used to determine the team ranking.
- The postseason poll is determined using the individual and team results from the national championship
