Despite a home loss on Saturday, Rutgers wrestling did not tumble or slide in the most recent rankings from InterMat.
No. 14 Rutgers is unchanged in the most recent InterMat rankings (dual). They dropped three spots to No. 24 in the tournament rankings.
Rutgers dropped a 2012 decision over the weekend against No. 10 Minnesota, dropping head coach Scott Goodale’s program to 10-3 (3-2 Big Ten) on the year. It was a quality loss and a close one for Rutgers.
Three losses that would be considered upsets (at 133 pounds, 184 pounds and 197 pounds) fueled Minnesota’s win over Rutgers. Minnesota’s position is also unchanged in the InterMat rankings.
The Scarlet Knights host No. 7 Ohio State on Sunday.
The most recent InterMat dual rankings have five Big Ten programs ranked in the top 10, more than any other conference.
No. 1 Penn State leads the way in both the dual and tournament rankings followed by No. 2 Iowa.
