2024-25 NAIA Men’s Wrestling Coaches’ Top 25 – No. 4 (January 3)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Grand View (Iowa) regains the national lead in the first NAIA Men’s Wrestling Coaches’ Top 25 of the new year. Life (Ga.) slips back to second while Southeastern (Fla.) remains in third position. Cumberlands (Ky.) and Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) flips spots. There are three ties in this ratings period at 19th, 21st, and 24th.

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
