New Pre-Season Rankings

[Wrestleknownothing]

Intermat dropped their new pre-season rankings a few hours ago and Wrestlestat did the same yesterday. 

There were a lot of line up changes and weight changes in both sets of rankings.

The biggest movers in my expected points outcomes based on Intermat rankings were Nebraska (+6.9), Lock Haven (-8.8) and NC State (-11.1).

Nebraska gained through Intermat sorting out 174 - 197 after Nebraska's announcement regarding weights. Previously they had Minto, Pinto and Allred, respectively. Now they have Pinto, Allred, and McDanel.

Lock Haven lost out through Noto bumping up a weight (from 125 to 133) and down in rank (from #2 to #8).

NC State lost out through Ryan Jack and Jackson Arrington redshirting. As a result NC State drops from #7, with an outside shot at the podium, to #15, and a remote shot, in my rankings.

Looks like Intermat added at least one redshirt freshman they had missed (or assumed wasn't at that weight or wasn't the starter) in Kale Petersen of Iowa.

Still no Lilledahl, or any other true freshman who did not at least wrestle in a college open in 2024, that I can tell.

One other thing that jumped out at me was the difference of opinion on Cornell.

Wrestlestat likes Cornell a lot more than Intermat. Like 35% more from an expected scoring standpoint.

And from a rank standpoint. Wrestlestat has Cornell wrestlers ranked higher in 8 of 10 weights.
