KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) has two teams receiving votes in the 2024 NAIA Men's Volleyball Coaches' Top 15 Poll.
The poll was announced on Wednesday.
Webber picked up 14 voting points to land six spots outside the top 15. Meanwhile, Reinhardt received three voting points to sit eight spots outside the top 15.
Poll Methodology
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences and Unaffiliated Groups.
- The Top 15 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 12 points for each first-place vote, 11 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"
