2023-24 NAIA Women’s Basketball Coaches Top 25 Rating – No. 2 (November 29)
Nov 29, 2023
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Campbellsville (Ky.) Tigers remained at No. 1 with all 21 first-place votes in the latest edition of the 2023-24 NAIA Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Top 25 Rating. The Top 6 teams remained at the same rank as the previous rating. None of the teams that followed No. 6 stayed at the same rank as the last rating. Southern Oregon, Grand View (Iowa) and Freed-Hardeman (Tenn.) joined the Top 25 this week.
Rating Methodology
The rating was rated by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences/Continental Athletic Conference (Independents)/unaffiliated groups.
The Coaches’ 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 on the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”
