NCAA Rankings 2017-18
285: No Upsets At Heavyweight
As with 197, there were a couple matchups between ranked wrestlers, such as Adam Coon versus Nick Nevills, Sam Stoll versus Derek White, and Tanner Hall versus Andrew Dunn. But also like 197, all the higher seeds prevailed, so there are no major changes to the division.
However, we did further scrutinize some of the previous results, and with Amar Dhesi having moved down to #10, Nick Nevills and Nathan Butler end up with better resumes and wins over higher-ranked opponents than Youssif Hemida. As such, those three wrestlers change positions.
