#4 PackWrestle: New Rankings & Virginia Preview
New Rankings
NC State (9-1, 2-0) moved up to #4 in this week’s NWCA Coaches Poll. Previously #3-ranked Oklahoma State fell out of the top-5 after losing two duals last weekend. They were without their reigning NCAA Champion, 197-pounder AJ Ferrari after he was involved in a scary car crash. Miraculously, he suffered non-life-threatening injuries and there seems to be some hope that he can return this season. It goes without saying that Ferrari’s absence is a big blow for the Cowboys, and despite the awful circumstances, other trophy-contending teams such as NC State stand to benefit from his unfortunate sabbatical if it continues into March.
