RAWLINGS FINAL NCSA DI TOP 20 POLL

Your 2024-2025 NCSA Division I National Champions, the University of Michigan Wolverines are the #1 Team in the Rawlings Final NCSA DI Top 20 Poll!  Michigan was dominant all year long not having lost a game since October.  They took over #1 ranking in March and never relinquished that title, finishing the year 30-1 (14-1 conference).  An incredible season for the Wolverines and one that they will never forget.

The 2024-2025 season is now in the books and we all look forward to 2025-2026.  Will Michigan go B2B or will it be someone else winning the National Championship?  We won’t know for another year, but next year kicks off in just a few more months.

Check out if you favorite team made the FINAL Rawlings Top 20 Poll.

RAWLINGS WEEK 35 NCSA DI TOP 20

The 2024-2025 NCSA DI Season is coming to a close.  Only one BIG tournament left to play…The 2025 NCSA DI World Series!  Regionals are in the books and they played a big part in the shakeup of the Rawlings Week 35 NCSA DI Top 20.

Your reigning National Champions, Air Force, crack into the Top 3 just behind familiar faces, Michigan at #1 and Illinois at #2.  We did see 4 new teams join the dance floor, which also means, 4 teams dropped out.  St. Bonaventure, Ohio, Oregon and TCNJ all join the Top 20 after great performances at Regionals and qualifying for the NCSA DI World Series.  The Carolina schools, South Carolina and North Carolina make HUGE jumps after winning their respective Regional Tournaments.  Lots of movement up and down, so make sure to check where you favorite team lands.

Only one more Rawlings Top 20 Poll left, and that is the most important one.  As was said in the Preseason Poll Post, your defending National Champions, Air Force put it, “Rankings do not matter until the final game of the National Tournament.” A very wise and true statement!  Who will be atop these rankings in 2 weeks?  All we know is that they will be the 2025 NCSA DI National Champions.

Next Poll Released: 5/22/25
