What kind of scam is this? Dayton Fix isn't ranked. I also noticed several Nationally Ranked wrestles didn't make the list.

Daton Fix is not on the list of Oklahoma RankWrestlers All-Americans (and some others as well) because the RankWrestlers rankings are based on results in TrackWrestling, and only two of his matches are currently on Track. Not a perfect system because of lack of raw information from some teams, but a helpful way to objectively rank wrestlers using an algorithm that considers type of win, strength of opponent and head-to-head adjustments.

It looks like you are missing over half of the truly ranked wrestles in the country. Far from perfect. False sense of accomplishment, which is a huge problem in America.

That may be a bit overstated, but a few big states do not use TrackWrestling much at all (California, Illinois and Oklahoma come to mind), and some teams within other states are better than others at posting results. I wish all states would fully adopt TrackWrestling, but it does not take away from the accomplishments of the incredible wrestlers on the list now.

I disagree! Without adding the best in the country, you diminish the validity of your rankings.
