Revision as of 00:09, 12 April 2021

The 2020 NAIA football rankings reports the poll results conducted during the 2020 NAIA football season. Each season, one poll evaluates the various National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) football teams and ranks them. Coaches from each of the football conferences are members of a selection panel, with conferences receiving one vote for every 4 member teams. Sometimes referred to as the football ratings or the NAIA Coaches' Poll, the poll is generally conducted once during the preseason and after each week of play during the regular season.

Once the regular season is completed, the NAIA will conduct a playoff to determine the year's national champion. A final poll will be taken after completion of the series of playoff games, collectively referred to as the 2020 NAIA Football National Championship.

The Top 25 was determined by compiling points for each vote. A team received 25 points for each first-place vote, 24 for second-place and so on through the list. The highest and lowest ranking for each team (counting zero for ballots with no votes for a team) were disregarded. To obtain the final tally, each team's ranking was recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that includes the team.[1]

As an example, if there were 17 voting panelists, and one team is a unanimous choice for the highest ranking, then that team would receive 25 points * 15 ballots (disregard 2 ballots) + 17 points (one for each ballot cast) = 392 points.

Teams that received only one point in the ballot were not considered “receiving votes.”

Poll release dates

Due to the presence of the COVID-19 pandemic, modifications to the playing season and associated polls and release dates were made. Some teams were able to compete and complete their seasons in the fall of 2020; however, a large portion of the NAIA season was delayed and played in the spring of 2021.

No spring or preseason polls were released for the 2020 season; the first poll was released after the spring playing season was underway.

Following is a complete schedule of 2020 poll release dates.[2]

The postseason tournament

A 16-team tournament will be contested to determine the winner of the 2020 NAIA Football National Championship. Teams will be selected to the field of participants through a two-tiered selection process.

First, any conference champion ranked in the top 20 positions in the final regular-season Coaches' Poll will receive an automatic bid into the tourney field.

After the automatic bids are granted, any open positions in the field will be filled with at-large invitations. These at-large entries will be granted to the highest ranked teams who were not conference champions.

In 2020, there will be 12 NAIA conferences (or divisions within large conferences) who have champions that will be part of the selection process for the automatic invitations. The 12 eligible conferences for the 2020 season are:

Conference Division
Frontier Conference
Great Plains Athletic Conference
Heart of America Athletic Conference North
Heart of America Athletic Conference South
Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference
Mid-South Conference Appalachian
Mid-South Conference Bluegrass
Mid-South Conference Sun
Mid-States Football Association Mideast
Mid-States Football Association Midwest
North Star Athletic Association
Sooner Athletic Conference

Leading vote-getters

Since the inception of the Coaches' Poll in 1999, the #1 ranking in the various weekly polls has been held by only a select group of teams. Through Poll 4 of the 2020 season, the teams and the number of times they have held the #1 weekly ranking are shown below. The number of times a team has been ranked #1 in the postseason poll (the national champion) is shown in parentheses.

There has been only one tie for the leading vote-getter in a weekly poll. In 2015, Southern Oregon was tied with Marian (IN) in the preseason poll.

In 1999, the results of a postseason poll, if one was conducted, are not known. Therefore, an additional poll has been presumed, and the #1 postseason ranking has been credited to the postseason tournament champion, the Northwestern Oklahoma State Rangers.
