Comments are welcome and we hope you enjoy. Team Rankings are at the end of the Individual Rankings.
Also, we appreciate the feedback, but keep it civil. We miss things and it is not intentional. Bring it to our attention and we will take it into consideration for the next week. Make sure you visit our forums for discussion and banter.
As has happened in the past, the first few weeks will have a fair amount of movement. This is due to several reasons. We work very hard to bring you these rankings every Monday throughout the year. If you have information you feel we overlooked, please email us at rankings@theopenmat.com.

[...] New TOM Rankings are out! TOM DI College Wrestling Rankings 12.05.2011*|*The Open Mat [...]
Nice to see Zach Sanders ranked #1 for the first time in his career.
Surprised Thorn didn’t drop after the smackdown Oliver put on him.
19 and 20 at 149 should be reversed. Eifert beat Robertson h2h.
Jammen: Back to your Tony Ramos overrated/overranked argument please?
Why would Josh Asper drop to 4th after a medical defaut at the Nittany Lion Open after losing to third ranked Fittery 8-4 does not count he is not a college wrestler. He didn’t wrestle Yates, he shouldn’t move.
nobody has ever to my knowledge dropped in the rankings after a medical default
2 meetings and Gillespie has never beat Asper
Jeff, That would be because the brackets I had did not show an Inj Def. That would expalin it.
Does anyone here really think McD won’t win nationals? 4th ranking or not, he is going to go on a rampage of terror for the rest of the season.

Jammen: Back to your Tony Ramos overrated/overranked argument please?
Thorn got manhandled by Oliver, but at least he didn’t duck him like Ramos did last year. Oliver is at another level entirely. Expect Ramos/Thorn to be battles like last year.
how is Gwiazdowski ranked higher than Frey ? didnt frey beat him a couple of weeks ago.
I strongly believe that bobby telford of Iowa at hwt should be top 5. He has done nothing but punish everyone he has wrestled including the former iowa hwt 3 times who was ranked in the top 5.
Well we disagree. Not counting team mates, he has not beaten a top 20. When he does the rankings change.
I told you Nauman was over rated!
Do you feel better? Send more your address I can send you a t-shirt for being right.
Any rankings this week?
tnx
