Carroll College and Rocky Mountain College have both received votes in the 2026 NAIA men's preseason coaches poll, according to the official NAIA announcement released on August 21, 2026.
The poll, which was voted on by a panel of NAIA coaches, includes teams from across the country. Carroll College, based in Helena, Montana, and Rocky Mountain College, based in Billings, Montana, are both members of the Frontier Conference.
While neither team was ranked in the top 25, their presence in the receiving votes category indicates they are considered strong contenders for the upcoming season. The full poll and the number of votes each team received can be found on the NAIA's official website.
The NAIA men's soccer season is set to begin in late August, with conference play following in September. Both Montana schools will look to build on their previous seasons' performances.
