Team rankings via NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll (2/12); individual rankings via InterMat (2/12)
The NCAA released the second of four coaches' panel rankings and the debut reveal of the ratings percentage index on Thursday. The final rankings will be tools used as part of the selection process to determine qualifiers and seeding for the 2019 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships March 21 to 23 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Wrestlers in each weight class are measured by winning percentage, RPI and coaches' rankings to earn allocation spots for their qualifying tournaments for the championships. The coaches' rankings are compiled by a vote of coaches representing each qualifying tournament. The RPI is calculated based on results vs. Division I wrestlers and rankings only include wrestlers that have a minimum of 17 results against Division I opponents.
For coaches ranking purposes, they may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a starter at a respective weight class. To be eligible, 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.
