This poll does not serve as an official ranking for USCAA teams.

The 2015 Soccer Sport Committee Preseason Polls are entirely separate from the USCAA Coaches Polls in that votes are tallied from our sport committees versus Coaches Poll members. Sport committee members were asked to base their votes off teams' finish in last year's national tournament, Coaches Poll, and overall standings during the regular season.
