Jan. 11 NAIA Men’s Rankings

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The newest NAIA Men’s Wrestling Coaches’ Top 20 sees a change at the top of the standings, as Life (Ga.) overtakes Grand View (Iowa) after the Running Eagles won the NWCA National Duals. Menlo (Calif.) remains third and Doane (Neb.) in fifth, while Campbellsville (Ky.) leaps into fourth position. Montana State-Northern moves into the rating after receiving votes last period.

Rating Methodology

The rating was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the eight conferences/groups.
Two days prior to the national rating, each qualifying group rater submits the top 10 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 25 individuals in each weight class is based on how each voter ranks the best individuals. An individual receives 25 points for each first place vote, 24 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
