COLLEGE WRESTLING RANKINGS

NEWTON, Iowa — W.I.N. Magazine has released its tenth 2004-2005 NCAA Division I wrestling rankings. As in previous years, the W.I.N. rankings are based on who we feel are currently the best individuals and tournament teams. Teams are not ranked on dual-meet strength.
The rankings are compiled after receiving feedback from the collegiate wrestling coaches. The committee then takes that information and looks at the team and individual performances from past years to come up with the final rankings.
The previous ranking is included in parenthesis when applicable.
(Any media person can also request the have W.I.N.’s rankings faxed to them during the wrestling season. Please e-mail W.I.N. at info@win-magazine.com or call the W.I.N. office at 888-305-0606 to request that your name be added to the list.)
