The first coaches’ poll of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 wrestling season has been published!
From the NCAA:
The coaches’ rankings are determined by a vote of three coaches in each weight class. For ranking purposes, coaches may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a starter at a respective weight class. Wrestlers must have eight Division I matches in the weight class to be considered with at least one within the last 30 days.
Wrestlers need a specific number of D1 matches against non-teammates this season to earn a ranking. 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.
