Ten Cowboys Represented in First Coaches' Rankings for NCAA Championships
January 19, 2023 | Cowboy Wrestling
STILLWATER – The NCAA announced the first coaches' ranking for the 2023 NCAA Championships on Thursday night.
The rankings consisted of all 10 Cowboys who have been the primary starter this season, highlighted by Daton Fix landing in the top spot at 133 pounds. Oklahoma State has three others in the top 10 at their respective weight class.
The coaches' rankings are determined by a vote of 14 coaches in each weight class with two head coaches from each of the seven conferences. 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.
The coaches' ranking is one of several criteria that will be evaluated by the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee during the at-large selection and seeding process along with head-to-head competition, quality wins, Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), conference tournament placement, results versus common opponents and win percentage.
The 2023 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships take place March 16-18 at BOK Center in Tulsa as the event returns to Oklahoma for the first time since being held in Oklahoma City in 2014. The complete set of rankings can be found here.
