Big Ten Wrestling power rankings: Does Penn State climb to top?

We’re inching ever closer to the B1G Championships, so let’s take another look at our updated Big Ten Power rankings to see where Penn State Wrestling lands this week

The B1G regular season has come to a close and we’re only a mere 10 days away from the B1G Championships, with Penn State Wrestling’s championship hopes getting a significant boost this week.

As the countdown to the Big Tens ticks down, let’s take a look at our pre-B1G Championship Power Rankings, including how the Nittany Lions stack up. If you want to see how things have changed, check out my rankings from last week.

All rankings listed are as of the latest InterMat rankings (2/23).

Here are our latest Big Ten power rankings: 

Last Week: 14
Rank: Unranked
Record: 0-8
Top 20 Wins: -12
Ranked Wrestler: 0

Oh Maryland.

The Terps traveled to University Park this past Monday (2/22) to take on the Nittany Lions. And to say it “Wasn’t pretty” is an understatement. The match started out at heavyweight, and Maryland wrestlers ended up getting pinned twice along with back-to-back major decisions in the first four matches.

Things stayed about the same the rest of the way as Penn State throttled Maryland 44-0. Maybe Maryland should stick to basketball.

Yeah.

The burning question for Maryland going forward is if they can win a single match in the B1G Championships.

Turtle Power!
