Firehawks Fall to No. 8 in NAIA Coaches Poll
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Keiser (Fla.) made it nine in a row at the top as the ninth edition of the Top 25 was released on Wednesday. The Seahawks garnered all 18, first-place votes. Marian (Ind.), Cumberlands (Ky.), Spring Arbor (Mich.), William Carey (Miss.), and Oklahoma Wesleyan all remained at Nos. 2-6 respectively. Grace (Ind.) made the biggest jump of the week, up three spots to No. 18 (tied with Truett McConnell (Ga.)).
Poll Methodology
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each conference, Continental Athletic Conference (Independents), and Unaffiliated Groups.
- 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 team appears on.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered "receiving votes."
