2020-21 NCAA D1 Dual Rankings

Top 25 NCAA D1 Dual Meet Rankings

Last season when I began doing dual rankings, I said I would be basing them on, "Results. All results. If the dual happened we counted the result. It doesn't matter who was or wasn't in the lineup. I could play the what-if game all day, but I'm not going to do it."

While the #1 criteria is still head-to-head dual wins, and I will not be discounting results just because teams are missing wrestlers, in this unique season teams have not wrestled the same amount of duals as others. For example, Missouri has already wrestled and won seven duals while Penn State and Stanford still haven't competed. 

Because of that, for teams with no resume or small bodies of work, the number of NCAA qualifiers or ranked wrestlers were weighed heavily.Now, let's get into it...

Illinois is the big mover after beating Ohio State. Missouri jumps into the top 10 and are knocking on the door of the top five after putting it on Iowa State. 

Virginia makes their debut as seven Cavaliers are currently ranked in the top 25. In their final season, as of now, Stanford is into the top 25 as half of their lineup is currently ranked. Finally, Coach Kolat has the Midshipmen into the top 25 in his first year in Annapolis thanks to a win over Lehigh and four ranked wrestlers.
