Preseason Rankings are not predictions, as many of the wrestlers are changing weight classes from the previous season. We start with returning state placers, then returning state qualifiers, then past state qualifiers, then elite freshmen who are proven on the national level. We take those wrestlers and attempt to place them in the weight classes that their coaches send us. We add points to each team’s total based on where they have wrestlers ranked in the top 6. Only a few points separate the initial top 5 teams in Class A, and our team rankings are tournament rankings, instead of dual rankings. We will do our best to reflect what happens throughout the season in our rankings. Thank you for the comment.
