December 2015 Coaches Poll for Intercollegiate Policy Debate
Winston-Salem, NC, December 7, 2015 :
Successful coaches from around the
country were invited to participate a poll ranking the top intercollegiate
policy debate teams in the country.
Coaches from the following universities and colleges participated Arizona State, Georgia, Harvard, Iowa, Michigan,
Michigan State, Minnesota, Puget Sound, Wake Forest, Weber State. Each submitted a ranking answering the
question: who are the top 25 performing teams in the country? They were asked to consider results from all
policy tournaments sanctioned/governed utilizing the topic as designated by the
Cross Examination Debate Association and the National Debate Tournament which
is: “The United States should significantly reduce its military presence in one
or more of the following: the Arab states of the Persian Gulf, the Greater Horn
of Africa, Northeast Asia.” Places were
calculated by awarding 25 points for a 1st place vote, 24 points for
a 2nd place vote, descending in order to 1 point for 25th
place. A total was then calculated to
determine the final places. Coaches were
allowed to rank their own teams for placeholder purposes, but any ranking of
one’s own team was replaced with an average of rankings from other voters. Congratulations to the University of Michigan
for being recognized as the #1 team in the country!
