The good thing with wrestling is you can usually settle it on the mat. Guessing will only be so accurate, especially early in the year. The team ranks are just based on the individual ranks and the wrong injury can completely swing the dual results. I think the rankings are done assuming all teams are fully healthy.

The individual rankings are used for seeing and making the cuts at the NCAAT, but team ranks aren't really used at all. While it's fun to say we're in top ten, etc but we can see how it settles out at the end of the year.
