Not that our Top 25 was ever more than a fun thing to look at anyway, but just wanted to reemphasize that this is NOT the official NAIA Top 25 Coaches Poll. This is our own Top 25. A lot of work goes into rankings. We have officially gone over 100 games watched for the season. We don’t just box score or stat watch. Of course, there are times where that is needed for us as well as we can’t watch EVERY game either. We also are well aware that we do get things wrong as well. There is no perfect solution in ranking teams. Formulas, eye test, drawing names out of hats whatever you want to do to compare teams will all change every few weeks anyway. Teams have blunders or lose players. Some teams are simply just bad matchups for teams, or a team just may have a bad night while others have a good one. THINGS HAPPEN! The overall body of work is important as is outside influences on a win or loss! A lot to consider when ranking a team and we try to consider ALL things while thinking about where to place a team. Right now we currently have 59 teams who haven’t lost a game still! There are also 1 and 2 loss teams who have better resumes than some of the teams with no losses. The fun part is that, 10 of the 21 conferences, start league play this week! On a side note…the SAC, RRAC and SSAC have all picked up nice wins so far this season. All three leagues have seen their fair share of teams left OUTSIDE of the bubble on selection day the past few years, so picking up some big early non-conference wins this year may help change the landscape of how many each league gets in this year! Just something to take a note of early!
