I'd say Edinboro and Nebraska flip flop is called for.

No...believe it or not, those Nebraska numbers are without Donahoe and Jordan. Sure, Edinboro will likely get a bounce with the next rankings release (probably into one of the bottom couple rungs of the top-ten range), but Nebraska still has a fairly decent shot at a trophy despite Paul and Kenny's absences.

^^^I wouldn't rank either Donahoe or Scott until they are actually competing for Edinboro. The last I heard (last to know) was that neither would be competing for the Fighting Scots the fall semester. -Stove Pipe

Rankings are a work in progress. We enjoy them. But watch the open tournements. Wrestlers will show there potential. IE: borchel for Iowa, i said watch this kid to the OCGeneral, I rest my case. Teams are using open tournements to see how their in coming personal handle the upgrade to college level. I would too! UNI has three open tournements before they tackle the formidable foe`s in the rest of their schedule. The open trs. allow you to make the decisions about redshirts and not. And there are alot of them. Let the season begin. I know Football first.

jfs-No question...I mean, what were Iowa and Minnesota ranked at the start of last season (according to my tournament points), seventh and first (by a landslide) respectively, and they finished first and tenth?
