I was updating my conference interactive brackets with the team changes and figured I would post these here as a "preseason" conference rankings. These are the team's starters/rankings according to wrestlestat and so freshman who are projected to start are beginning at the back of the field since they don't have matches but figured it would be an interesting thing to see how teams progress as the season goes along. You can click on the conference name to see the interactive brackets which are empty.

Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge

Thanks for compiling this info. Much appreciated.

My only quibble as a Penn fan is that Cross Wasilewski will place no worse than 2nd in the Ivy at 149. But, he's a (gray shirt) freshman so I understand the lack of data in the system. (Same with McGowan for Princeton at 125.)

Thanks again.
