Are these dual meet rankings? I don't understand why we are so far below Wyoming.

InterMat has NDSU 19 and Wyoming 20.

Bison in #22 AND #23!

I believe the NWCA (National Wrestling Coaches Association) rankings are based on the weekly votes coming from the coaches within the organization. I don't know which coaches are voting, but I believe there are a total of twelve based on the total number of first-place votes each week.

So they poll the sports information department interns, got it.

I believe Coach Kish can get a top-10 team put together with a more balanced line up. Bison have some very good wrestlers but also have holes in some weights. It will take time but IMO, he will get the Bison into the top 10.
