Ohio State jumps Oklahoma State in tournament rankings, Penn State remains No. 1

College wrestling’s conference tournament weekend added a new air of suspense for St. Louis.

Ohio State put a dent in the Penn State armor at the Big Ten Championships. Oklahoma State obliterated the tournament scoring record and the rest of the field at the Big 12 Tournament. Missouri regained its footing and reclaimed the top spot in the MAC.

When the dust settled after seven conference tournaments, Penn State’s massive lead in the Trackwrestling team rankings had been whittled to the tightest margin in more than a month, Ohio State skipped over Oklahoma State to grab the No. 2 spot and Missouri hurdled Nebraska and moved back up to No. 6.

Penn State continues to occupy the top spot, but the Nittany Lions — partially due to 125-pounder Nick Suriano’s injury status — had their 24.5-point lead dwindle to 8.

Penn State is projected to score 102.5 advancement and placement points based on the Trackwrestling individual rankings. Ohio State is second with 94.5, followed by Oklahoma State (91), Iowa (81), Virginia Tech (74), Missouri (57.5), Nebraska (55.5), Cornell (50) and Arizona State and Illinois tied for No. 9 at 37.5.

Trackwrestling’s team rankings are based off the number of advancement and placement points each squad would accumulate if its wrestlers finished in those ranking slots at the NCAA Championships. Top-ranked wrestlers earn 20 points, followed by 16 for second, 13.5 for third, 12.5 for fourth, 10 for fifth, 9 for sixth, 6.5 for seventh, 5.5 for eighth, 2 for spots 9-12, 1.5 for spots 13-16 and 1 for 17-25.

The individual rankings are compiled by David Mirikitani.
