The first coaches' poll of the 2022-23 NCAA D1 wrestling season has been published!

Wrestlers need eight D1 matches against non-teammates to earn a ranking, which are decided by 14 different D1 coaches at each weight, with two coaches coming from each of the seven conferences. 

The last coaches' poll that comes out just before the conference championship is a major component for determining NCAA Championship allocation spots per conference. 

We've also projected the final team scores of the NCAA Championship using these rankings the same way we do for the Tournament Rankings. Those can be found after the 285-pound coaches' poll.

Additionally, we've calculated the relative strength of each conference in each weight class by totaling up the number of projected points for each wrestler in the conference. That table can be found after the projected team scores.

Projected NCAA Team Scores

Some of these scores may seem off and that is likely due to certain teams, like Penn State, not having starters in the rankings due to them not having wrestled the minimum number of matches to be included in the coaches poll. Also note that there were ties in the coaches' poll in some weights which altered the total number of points that are normally distributed in this exercise.
