Ratings Methodology

·        The rating is rated by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and unaffiliated groupings.

·        The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each rater rates the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place, 28 for third-place, and so on through the list.

·        The highest and lowest ratings for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) are removed. The team’s rating will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) on which the team appears.

·        Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes”.
