2019-20 NCAA DI Rankings

165 Joseph vs the Volcano

Three-time All-American David McFadden suffered another unexpected loss, this time to conference rival Thomas Bullard, who has been on a hot streak recently. Bullard moves up to #8 and McFadden falls below him to #9, bringing Tanner Skidgel with him. Skidgel does not have a resume to match McFadden (who has a win over Evan Wick), to keep ahead of the Hokie. 

In other ACC-Makes-a-Mockery-of-the-Top-25 News, Kennedy Monday defeated Jake Wentzel. Monday lost to Zach Hartman three weeks ago, but also beat McFadden in the week prior to that. We decided to move Wentzel down a few spots, but above Ethan Smith and Danny Braunagel, who he has beaten this year, and move Monday up above Wentzel. Braunagel has a win over Smith, and Smith has a win over Monday, so there's no simple way to argue this grouping. 

Speaking of Hartman, the Bucknell Bison was beaten my Cael McCormick. Hartman doesn't move, however, as his loss to McCormick is balanced by his previous win over Monday becoming more impressive in hindsight. McCormick only moves a couple spots up, just below Grant Cuomo, as Cuomo has a win over Bullard, who's stock is also on the rise.
