One human poll made up the 2011 NAIA football rankings, sometimes called the NAIA Coaches' Poll or the football ratings. Once the regular season was complete, the NAIA sponsored a 16-team playoff to determine the year's national champion. A final poll was then taken after completion of the 2011 NAIA Football National Championship.[1]
The poll release dates were:
- April 18, 2011 (Spring)
- August 8, 2011 (Preseason)
- September 12, 2011
- September 19, 2011
- September 26, 2011
- October 3, 2011
- October 10, 2011
- October 17, 2011
- October 24, 2011
- October 31, 2011
- November 7, 2011
- November 13, 2011 (Final)
- December 19, 2011 (Postseason)
Week by week poll
Leading Vote-Getters
Since the inception of the Coaches' Poll in 1999, the #1 ranking in the various weekly polls has been held by only a select group of teams. Through the end of 2011, the team and the number of times they have held the #1 weekly ranking are shown below. The number of times a team has been ranked #1 in the postseason poll (the national champion) is shown in parentheses.
In 1999, the results of a postseason poll, if one was conducted, are not known. Therefore, an additional poll was presumed, and the #1 postseason ranking has been credited to the postseason tournament champion, the Northwestern Oklahoma State Rangers.
| Team | Total #1 Rankings |
|---|---|
| Carroll (MT) | 56 (6) |
| Sioux Falls (SD) | 55 (3) |
| Georgetown (KY) | 23 (2) |
| Northwestern Oklahoma State | 12 (1) |
| Saint Xavier (IL) | 9 (1) |
| Azusa Pacific (CA) | 3 |
| Saint Francis (IN) | 3 |
| Marian (IN) | 2 |
