TheOpenMat.com has released its 2019-20 NCAA Division I Individual College Wrestling Rankings. Athletes known to be redshirting or are not currently on roster are not ranked. During the season, wrestlers who miss two weeks of scheduled competition (excluding opens), will be removed from the rankings (with some exceptions based on available information). They will be returned to the rankings once they compete. Ineligible student-athletes are not ranked, even if they are competing in open tournaments and plan to return to the lineup in the second semester. When they return eligible, they will be ranked.
If information regarding year, record or win streak needs to be updated, contact esmith@theopenmat.com
