Associated Wrestling Press (Top 20 per weight class)
They had not posted for a few weeks, so I'm not putting "last week's" rankings in parenthesis.
125: Nico - 4th
133: Conaway - 9th
141: Gulibon - 6th
149: Zain - 1st
157: Nolf - 3rd
165: Rasheed - 19th
174: Nickal - 8th
184: Cutch - 13th
197: McIntosh - 1st
285: No PSUer


Dual Impact Index powered by National Collegiate Open
the 1st ranking by SHP was posted, but you need 5 matches to be considered, so the only PSUers in it are backups that have participated in Opens.


Average
125: Nico - 5th (5th)
133: Conaway - 9th (9th)
141: Gulibon - 7th (8th)
149: Zain - 2nd (3rd)
157: Nolf - 3rd (3rd)
165: Rasheed - 18th (18th)
174: Nickal - 7th (7th)
184: Cutch - 12th (12th)
197: McIntosh - 1st (1st)
285: No PSUer (No PSUer)
Team - 1st (2nd)

Associated Wrestling Press re-joined the fray. Dual Impact Index was not factored into the Average, as PSU's starters did not wrestle enough matches for the DII's criteria. WrestleStats continues to skew the rankings a bit, which isn't a surprise for a computer-generated ranking early in the season. If WrestleStats' rankings were excluded from the Average, these would be the Average for the respective PSU wrestlers (with a comparison in parenthesis): Nico - 4th (down), Conaway - 10th (up), Gulibon - 8th (up), Zain - 1st (down), Nolf - 3rd (same), Rasheed - 16th (down), Nickal - 7th (same), Cutch (13th (up), McIntosh - 1st (same).

everything but Associated Wrestling Press is now posted. They have a track record of being inconsistent with their posting of rankings, so I'll give them a day or 2, and then generate the average.

Thanks for including me Tom.

I'll admit, some of my rankings still don't make some sense (ie beckman at 133, Moisey at 133, Neff at 141, Youtsey at 125). There are still more tweaks I need to make to the rankings process, but these first few weeks with not much data can produce some results that we fans know don't look correct.

 

[Brian LB-U]

All I will say is: 174 is winnable. Apologies in advance if this puts undue "virtual" pressure on our young, inexperienced guy, but that's how I feel right now. Is Realbuto wrestling at the Scuffle?

Fully updated, and Average added.

Tom - I can't find the AWN rankings on line. I'm curious who they ranked ahead of Nolf. IMar, Ian Miller & who else?

Brian Murphy. Why would you look for the AWN rankings instead of just clicking on the link in Tom's post?
