Only 2nd week, so many upsets; and with projected starters still out, that changes the dual rankings as well.

With Austin O'Connor now out with injury, Sammy Sasso is now your #1 at 149, and the redshirt freshman has looked fantastic this season.

Kendall Coleman continues his rise up to #11 at 157.

Jackson Turley (165) of Rutgers made a 50-spot leap after a good performance at the Journeyman, as well as Harvard's Phillip Conigliaro moving up 48 spots after his Bearcat Open performance.

And at 285, Tate Orndorff moved up 7 spots after his 2 top-10 wins over the weekend to come in at #5.

In our dual rankings, with Penn State holding out a couple projected starters, they ended up falling to #2 in the rankings, while Iowa moved into the top spot despite not having wrestled any matches yet this season. Although, the tournament rankings stayed pretty much the same because of their firepower at the top.

Where's Dakota Geer?
 
They calculate that Utah Valley State would defeat us in a dual. Although they have 2 or 3 of our guys who are ranked significantly higher mysteriously losing. I hate to have such low expectations for our Pokes, but it's still going to be a fun year to see how we develop. In this day of LOI unless they change their mind, I believe we need to still find a way to be relevant. Don't need to lose momentum with this outstanding recruiting class coming in.

With putting Geer back as the starter (rankings ran when someone moved Geer out of the starting spot), it's now projected 17-16 OSU.

What I find interesting is that there are a couple matchups where both guys are ranked 50+, with OSU's being ranked "worse", but in both scenarios, gives Utah Valley the edge. 133 I can understand, but the other doesn't make sense (157). I'll look into the prediction engine a little bit...

At 133 and 157 we are ranked 130 places higher between the two weights and picked to lose both of those? C'mon man. Is CNN doing this?
