Any of the US States with no NCAA (D1) Champions?

For this, multiple titles by a single wrestler count. As in Utah was zero until Cael and he gave them 4 titles - with fellow Utard Aaron Holker becoming the second to win a title.

Is Pennsylvania #1? Or maybe Oklahoma because of all the pre-WWII champions?

Anyone have a breakdown of the States?

Great response!    Many folks don't realise that there was wrestling before Gable took over the Hawks and there are others that don't think it existed before Cael took over in Happy Valley

The state of Oklahoma had a lot of champs after WWII, pretty sure Wkn has a table & graph.

Going into last year (since I don’t have the current sheet on my phone)

This is from my annual Preview Guide.

Although it's astonishing that Mizzou only has 9 and is barely ranked in the Top 20, admittedly some of their top standouts (the Askrens) aren't from Missiouri. 

If there's ever a chart only including data from more recent years (maybe 1967 onward since that's when Michigan State won), it would be even more interesting to see.   How many NCAA champs does Oklahoma produce nowadays (i.e. since 1967)?   

Maybe if the western half of the USA hosted the NCAAs more often, California would be top 5 and Arizona would be ranked.

Yeah,  the question was which states have never "produced" a national champion,  not who has the most.

With no info in front of me,  I'll take a few wild stabs at it. 

Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Kentuckah, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Arkansas, New Mexico, Nevada, Idaho.

I'm guessing I did pretty well.

Why? So we can play another senseless, multi-page game of gotcha and lost meaning?

I'm just thinking that I did very well (noticed how I just upped the ante with one word 😝.

You have to know by now that I quantify. It is what I do.

And if you make a bold claim like "I did very well" you are inviting the multi-page thread. Don't act like you don't love it.

As an educator I propose the scale you should be familar with. 90% is an A (very well), 80% is a B (well), 70% is a C (average), 60% is a D, less is an F.

THAT one is easy,  and you'd be either the seventh or eighth person in just this week that didn't realize that the joke is on them. 

But,  contrary to others' sentiments toward me,  I actually harbor zero ill feeling toward anyone on here.  How could I? I don't know them.

I agree .Showing from sometime in the sixties forward would be more helpful.

It isn't the college location. It is individuals from a specific state they are from.

The last two lines of the OP was what I was answering. I didn’t post the full list, just the top of what I could get in a screen shot.
