Rankings are not an exact science just ask USC… If a person is ranked in the top six in his weight class it should be taken as recognition for hard work and success in past years of wrestling and not necessarily State placing, but what takes place on the mat consistently day after day. Will you find that these guys can be beat? Sure you can! Anybody can be scored on. Will these guys have a 500 season? I don't think so. The coaches that provide this thankless service mean no harm by including someone that they feel has the potential to perform to the level that they see as attainable. Also if someone is excluded from the list and thinks they should be in the top six then work hard and win matches and good things will happen. To be ranked is not what it seems at face value, the higher the ranking the bigger the target “OU-KSU”, the higher the expectations on the wrestler perform at the perceived level, the tougher it is to do week in and week out. So to be ranked is an honor, to be unranked is could be considered a blessing.
