Complete Rankings
RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State was represented in every weight class in the first NCAA coaches' panel rankings, as the Wolfpack had 10 wrestlers ranked in their respective weight class – among the top-33 nationally. Highlighting the rankings, five Wolfpack grapplers are listed in the top-three in their weight classes.
The NCAA released the first of four coaches' panel rankings for the 2017-18 wrestling season. The final rankings will be one of the tools used as part of the selection process to determine the qualifiers for the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. This year's event is March 15-17 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
Wrestlers in each weight class will be measured by winning percentage, rating percentage index (RPI) and coaches' rankings to earn spots in their qualifying tournaments for the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. The coaches' rankings are compiled by a vote of coaches representing each qualifying tournament. For ranking purposes, coaches may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a starter at a respective weight class. To be eligible for the rankings, wrestlers must have participated in at least five matches against Division I opponents in the weight class and have wrestled within the last 30 days.
