Manheim, Pa. – The only movement coming in the USA Today/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll came at the bottom half of the poll. Stanford, Ohio University and Chattanooga entered the poll while the top 15 teams remained unchanged as the poll was released on Tuesday.
The nation’s lone unbeaten teams – Penn State, Iowa and N.C. State – remained No. 1-3, while Oklahoma State remained at No. 4, while once-beaten Missouri and Lehigh maintained their positions at No. 5 and No. 6.
Oregon State, Purdue and Appalachian State fell out of the Top 25 this week. Ohio returning to the poll gives the Mid-American Conference four teams in the Top 25. The Big Ten still leads with nine of its 14 members in the poll and the ACC has five of its six wrestling programs ranked.
Appalachian State’s run in the Top 25 ended abruptly last week after the Mountaineers were upended by Gardner-Webb 22-18. While the Mountaineers fell out of the Top 25, another SoCon team moved in as Chattanooga (10-3) entered at No. 25.
