Johnson Receives Votes in Latest NAIA Poll
November 27, 2024
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - One Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) received votes in the 2024-25 NAIA Women's Basketball Coaches' Top 25 Poll, the national office announced on Wednesday.
Johnson picked up three voting points.
Poll Methodology
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences, Independents, and Unaffiliated Groups.
- The 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 low ratings) 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 team appears on.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered "receiving votes."
