The University of Michigan will close out the fall portion of the 2024-2025 NCSA DI season as the #1 Team in the country heading into the break with a 14-1 record (8-1 Conference).  The top 4 stay put, but after an impressive showing at the Asheville Fall Tournament and sporting an unblemished 14-0 (9-0 conference) record, the Wolfpack from NC State join the Top 5.

So other moving and shaking but most notably is two newcomers to the Top 20 as we close out the fall.  Coastal Carolina (9-0, 9-0) and Boise State (8-1, 5-1) join the party.  When you have two new teams, that means, two teams drop out of the top 20.  Who are they?  You’ll have to see for yourself.  Check out the Rawlings Week 11 NCSA DI Top 20.

Next Poll Released: Spring 2025; Exact Date TBD

After a sweep of conference foe Central Michigan this past weekend and closing their fall season out with only 1 loss, the University of Michigan (8-1, 14-1) are the new #1 team in the NCSA DI.  Interesting enough, Michigan only received 5 first place votes compared to Illinois’ 11, but finished 2 points higher in the rankings.  James Madison stayed at #3, and Sacred Heard and Air Force helped round out the top 5.

Lot’s of movement in the Rawlings Week 9 NCSA DI Top 20, but only one team dropped out.  The University of Maryland moved from #19 to unranked which allowed newcomer Ohio State to join the Top 20 Party.  Ohio State is having a nice start to their season, sitting at 6-0 after sweeping #17 Kentucky in conference play.

One more Top 20 will be released for the fall portion of the season, then we’ll take a break until we get started back up for the spring portion of the season.

Next Poll Released: 11/21/24

Congratulations to Cornell University on winning the West Conference in the New England Region.  Cornell is the first team in the NCSA Division I to clinch a spot in the postseason with an unblemished conference record of 12-0.

Cornell qualified for the New England Regional Tournament, which will take place on April 26/27 at a site to be determined.  They will face off against the two other New England Conference Champions plus an at-large bid.  The winner and runner-up in the New England Regional Tournament will qualify for the 2025 NCSA DI World Series in Columbus, Georgia!

The Fighting Illini stay put at the #1 position in the Rawlings Week 7 NCSA DI Top 20 Poll. With one more series against a solid Missouri team to close out the fall portion of their season, Illinois sits with an unblemished conference record at 6-0 and 11-1 overall.

The big news is James Madison closing out their fall portion of the season with a very impressive 8-1 conference record. The Mid-Atlantic North is maybe the toughest in the country and JMU went through the gauntlet, facing #6 Navy, #15 Virginia Tech and #19 Maryland in conference play and their only loss being to Navy. After that incredible run, the Dukes jump into the top 3.

Two new teams join the Top 20, while two teams drop out.  Lot’s of movement  within the Top 20, so make sure to check out where your favorite teams lands this week.

Next Top 20 Poll Released: 11/7/24

After an impressive showing at the Indy Invitational, the University of Illinois is the new #1 Team in the country.  Michigan, who won the Indy Invitational, jumped 4 spots coming in at #2 followed by the reigning National Champions and previous #1, Air Force.

Air Force lost the top ranking mainly in part to Navy taking two non-conference games from them.  Navy stayed put at #4 and Sacred Heart stayed at #5.

Two newcomers join the NCSA DI Top 20, meaning two teams fell out of the rankings.  Who are they?  Could it be your team?

Check out the Rawlings Week 5 NCSA DI Top 20.
