Let’s get the discussions going!!! Keep in mind that these are preseason rankings. These rankings are not based solely on past performance. Previous results are clearly a huge factor but other factors, some subjective and some objective, were considered. I realize that weight classes may be off, especially at the very beginning of the season. If you don’t like your ranking, or if you think you were over-looked, prove me wrong….on the mat!!! That’s enough chit-chat…here they are!
