The NCCAA announces National Rankings for the week of October 5, 2026. The third regular season poll for Division I Men's Soccer, DIvision I Women's Soccer, and Division I Women's Volleyball have been released. To see all rankings for 2026-27, visit www.thenccaa.org/polls.
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.
