2021-22 NAIA Men's Golf Coaches' Top 25 Poll - No. 3 (March 11)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Keiser (Fla.) continues to maintain a hold of the NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll for a third straight edition and the first of the Spring season. USC Beaufort (S.C.) jumps to second nationally while Oklahoma City drops back to third. British Columbia stays in the fourth position and Coastal Georgia moves into the Top Five. The Sun Conference has three teams in the first five and a total of five ranked one to twelve. 

Poll Methodology
• The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences. 
• Each conference is represented by one rater. 
• 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 in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.
