2024 NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll - No. 2 (September 11)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - St. Thomas (Fla.) takes over the top spot in the NAIA Men's Soccer Coaches' Top 25 Poll, becoming the third team in as many polls to be the clubhouse leader. They are followed by Dalton State (Ga.), Bethel (Ind.) who moved up two spots, Milligan (Tenn.) who fell three positions, and Bellevue (Neb.) who joined the Top Five.
Poll Methodology:
- The poll is for publicity purposes only and has no weight or bearing in the selection process for national championship field consideration.
- A panel of head coaches representing each conference and Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) voted on the poll.
- The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter votes for the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 points for third-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.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”.
