2024-25 NAIA Women's Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 – No. 3 (December 12)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Life (Ga.) takes the top spot in the third NAIA Women's Wrestling Coaches' Top 20 this week, while Grand View (Iowa) is close behind in second. Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) climbed the highest this week up to sixth from 18th. After dropping out of the ratings on the last release, Central Methodist (Mo.) is back in the top 20 at 18th.
Rating Methodology
- The ratings were voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the five conferences.
- Two days prior to the national rating, each qualifying group rater submits the top 10 individuals from each weight class in the 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 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
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.”
