The final coaches ranking and RPI should be out this Thursday along with the number of pre-allocated spots for each conference at each weight. There are 3 criteria for a pre-allocated slot. Top 30 in RPI (15 match min) or coaches ranking (8 match min) and 70% or higher win %. If a wrestler meets at least 2 out of 3 they earn the conference a pre-allocated spot. This doesn’t mean the wrestler earns a spot at Nationals. Each competitor at the conference tournament must place high enough to earn their spot at Nationals. A wrestler must have 8 matches against D1 competition at the same weight to be eligible to earn a spot. Listed below are current rankings and win percentage. RPI, coaches and then win percentage with an estimate of how many spots each weight should earn an allocated spot. Wrestlers in Bold should be locks.
