Average
125: Nico - 5th (5th)
133: Conaway - 10th (9th)
141: Gulibon - 9th (9th)
149: Zain - 2nd (2nd)
157: Nolf - 3rd (3rd)
165: Morelli - 18th (Rasheed - 20th)
174: Nickal - 5th (6th)
184: Cutch - 11th (12th)
197: McIntosh - 1st (1st)
285: No PSUer (No PSUer)
Team - 2nd (1st)

The rule for the Average is a wrestler must be listed in half of the rankings to be included. Morelli was in 4 of the 7 rankings, so he replaces Rasheed at 165 in this week's Average. Associated Wrestling Press and Amateur Wrestling News did not post rankings for the 2nd week in a row. I dropped Associated Wrestling Press last year due to their lack of weekly rankings. I'll keep checking each week, but if they continue this pattern I'll drop them from the weekly review. If the 2 computer generated rankings (WrestleStats and Dual Impact Index) are excluded from the Average, these would be the Average for the respective PSU wrestlers (with a comparison in parenthesis): Nico - 4th (up), Conaway - 8th (up), Gulibon - 9th (same), Zain - 1st (up), Nolf - 3rd (same), Morelli - n/a, Nickal - 5th (same), Cutch 13th (down), McIntosh - 1st (same), Team - 2nd (same).

Can't understand how Nickal can go from 7th to 8th on open mat.

Don't forget Cortez is at #3 now on WrestleStat.

Can't understand how Nickal can go from 7th to 8th on open mat.

Checked and he moved up to #6 on TOM. Proof that Tom McAndrew is in fact, human.

My bad ... when putting it together I did catch another time I keyed in "8" when I thought I was keying in "6." I didn't catch the Nickal mistake in the TOM rankings I listed, though I've fixed it now.

Full updated, and average entered. I held off on the average as I was waiting for Amateur Wrestling News and Associated Wrestling Press to post their rankings, but they never did.
