California Baptist University (48-2) again received all 22 first-place votes to remain at the top spot for the 20th straight time with 622 points. William Carey (Miss.) also remained at No. 2 with 602 points, while California State University-San Marcos, one of the Jaguars’ conference foes, moved from No. 4 to no. 3 with 572 points.
Central Baptist College (Ark.), another foe of the Jaguars, moved from No. 6 to No. 5.
