Ranking Process: The NCCAA Coaches Polls are developed by the National Sport Chair and Regional Sport Chairs who represent each region. Regional Sport Chairs develop a ranking for their region. Based on each regional ranking, Regional Sport Chairs then rank teams on a national level. The National Sport Chair then compiles the national ranking based on points from each team’s ranking on the Regional Sport Chairs’ national ballots.
