Dakota Wesleyan and Briar Cliff round out the top five respectively.

Last year Doane won the regular duals title and the GPAC Men's Wrestling Tournament Championship.

The poll, compiled by the NAIA, was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each conference. The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low rating) is removed and the team's ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot.

In addition to the team rankings, individual rankings by weight class were also compiled. The individual rankings can be found here: 2024-25 GPAC Men's Individual Preseason Rankings
