How are schools chosen and who (coaches, media, etc.) votes for the rankings?
The NSCAA separates the country into regions based on the regions set forth by the NCAA or other governing bodies. These regions may consist of one state or several states. The Regional Chair relies on coaches in his or her region to report scores to them. The Chair also can refer to the College Soccer Scoreboard for the latest results from top schools in his or her region. The Regional Chairs then take those results into a regional conference call to determine a top 10 listing. Only coaches vote on the poll, both regionally and nationally. The national polls are determined through a conference call as well.

How would a team be recognized or nominated for the list?
A team is usually nominated by someone in the region (another coach, the coach him/herself, sports information director, etc.).

Is it only members of your association that are ranked?
To be eligible for consideration in the NSCAA College Rankings, the school needs to be a member of NSCAA’s College Services program. To find out if your school is a current NSCAA College Services member, and follow the links to the current membership list for the appropriate gender and competition level.
