We are just over about a week and a half away from the bulk of the DI teams starting their 2020-21 season. These rankings have removed Ivy League wrestlers as they will not compete this year. They also do not include true freshmen. True freshmen will be added as they actually take the mat. The initial team rankings are for NCAA Tournament scoring only. We will have dual rankings once action gets underway, also.
