Rankings/Ratings from “The Stacks”

Jump to Comments

Since today is traditionally rankings day here at InterMat, it only seems appropriate that we take a look back at rankings randomly pulled off the shelf of “the stacks.”  Going through these rankings you may notice: teams that have jumped divisions, colleges that have changed names, teams that no longer have programs, and that some of the same powerhouses are still around today.

 

Take a look, enjoy and discuss!

  • Trying to make everyone cry? When are you folks going to get on NCAA to pressure the schools to include wrestling in their sport package if they want to compete in bowls and March Madness? Please stop supporting “club team concept. it is nothing but a shield to hide behind for the Us
