So the NCAA is way off base ranking 20 and only having 8 all americans? They should only rank 8.

Here is a nice article on the Big 10 wrestling.

They boast 70 ranked wrestlers, but it should only be 38, because 32 of them won't be all americans if they wrestle to rank.

That means 40 kids in the state at each weight would be "RANKED". I'm sorry but we have bigger goals than to be just ranked. This is equivalent to 4A dividing in to two groups so more people will have a chance to be a state champion.
