As a note, all rankings are courtesy of Intermat, who do a good job and don’t charge me money to view them. Team rankings are dual rankings, not tournament.
Atinat: This week of wrestling is pretty fun. On paper, it’s better than last week. Next week should be better, with two duals on BTN Friday night. But the Big Ten is missing a real opportunity (or maybe they’re doing this and haven’t told me, idk). Michigan’s covid pause has caused four duals to be postponed, including against Penn State and Iowa. Penn State and Iowa wrestle next Friday. The Big Ten can knock out two birds (or a bird and a lion) with one stone by moving Michigan and Ohio State to Sunday, and invite Michigan into Happy Valley for THE GREATEST TRI-DUAL EVER between the top three teams in the country. Please? PS (but before the article), tri-duals need to stay. Can you imagine a quadrangle of hate dual with fans?
