The Open Mat has released our early-preseason rankings for July 6th, 2020. Both individual and tournament rankings have been included. At this time, no true freshmen have been included. These rankings are a very rough look at the 2020-21 season. Because most schools are still closed, teams have less of an idea as to what their 2020-21 lineups will look like. Therefore, expect more weight changes in the next edition, plus more additions or drops due to potential redshirts (Olympic and regular).
