B-12 Ind. Rankings

[American Horse]

Here are the pre-season individual wrestling rankings for the B-12 compiled by Wrestling Insider Magazine. I didn’t count every team but think I got all the major players. I also did this fairly quickly so can’t guarantee 100% accuracy! Looks like Oklahoma State will be clear-cut favorites but after that it could be a real dog fight. Below is the teams and corresponding number of wrestlers ranked in the top 20.

Oklahoma State. 9
Wyoming. 6
Oklahoma. 5
N. Iowa. 5
Iowa State. 4
N. Colorado. 4

Obviously it’s pre-season, much can change. Wyoming is a very good but not elite program. I would really like Burman to open up some purse strings so we can keep Branch and his staff here.

Didn't Missouri join the Big 12 this season? I imagine they'll be right up there with OSU

You are absolutely correct and I completely forgot about Missouri! Re-joined conference effective in July. I went back and used my same source and they have 9 ranked wrestlers. Look to be real tough, especially in the lower wits.

Looks like we're going to have a good dual team, but only an OK tourney team.

100% Agree. Solid, maybe even good, all the way through. However it doesn’t appear we have any real killers needed to win big tournaments. Will win some matches and score some points but most platings will come from the back side.
