NAIA Rankings

The NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) men's and women's top 25 tennis rankings come out every two weeks. The most recent top 25 rankings came out on April 16th and did not include the Nebraska Wesleyan men's tennis team. In my opinion I think that Nebraska Wesleyan should be apart of the top 25 rankings.
My first argument is that we are currently and have been ranked number one in our region since March 17th, which is a month ago to the day. Another reason I think that the Nebraska Wesleyan men's tennis team should be ranked in the top 25 is because of our records, both conference and overall. Our overall record is currently 11-5 and our conference record is 4-0. What is significant about our conference record is that we have beaten each conference opponent 9-0 which makes us a perfect 36-0 in conference matches so far this season.
Of the teams that are ranked in the top 25 rankings there are seven teams that have fewer wins than us and there are nine teams that have more losses than we do. I think that the people who come up with the rankings are punishing are team because the other teams in our conference are not very good, except for Sioux Falls. I believe that if we had the same record and were in a different conference that was better then the people who come up with the top 25 rankings would look at us differently and put us in the top 25.
To make up for our weak conference we try to schedule teams that are traditionally stronger teams. This year we played one NCAA division one team and three NCAA division two teams. We have not yet played the division one teams but we have played all three of the division two teams and we beat two out of the three.
