10. Michael Colaiocco – UPenn (11)
The top five stayed the same this week while there was a shift below. Colaiocco makes his move into the top 10 despite a loss to No. 8 Shawver Saturday. It was razor thin for what it’s worth. Michigan’s Chris Cannon is out from No. 6 due to inactivity.

8. Tagen Jamison – Oklahoma State (7)
9. Jordan Titus – West Virginia (10)
10. Anthony Echemendia – Iowa State (12)
Another weight class that has the same top five this week. Happel made a move two spots up and is now 10-4 on the season. Echemendia is moving on up and is 12-3 on the year. Impressive for the Ohio State transfer.

8. Austin Gomez – Michigan (8)
9. Ty Watters – West Virginia (9)
10. Kannon Webster – Illinois (10)
This week, nothing changes through the top 10. Lovett is still the guy to beat right now. Gomez also made his Michigan debut and is 1-0 on the year. He’ll be a fascinating watch the rest of the way.
157 pounds
1. Levi Haines – Penn State (1)
2. Jared Franek – Iowa (2)

4. Vince Zerban – Northern Colorado (6)

9. Will Lewan – Michigan (9)
10. Brock Mauller – Missouri (10)
Zerban made a move to No. 4 and is now 17-0 on the season for Northern Colorado. Is he a legit national title contender? It certainly seems like it. Otherwise, the top 10 stayed the same just with some slight movement.

8. Holden Heller – Pitt (8)
9. Peyton Hall – West Virginia (11)
10. Mitchell Mesenbrink – Penn State (12)
The top eight did not change this week but we have two new guys in the top 10. Hall is 20-3 on the season and Mesenbrink, a freshman, is 10-0 on the year and looks extremely impressive for Penn State.

4.Shane Griffith – Michigan (5)

7. Travis Wittlake – Oregon State (7)
8. Carson Kharchla – Ohio State (8)
9. Donnell Washington – Indiana (9)
10. Ben Pasiuk – Army (10)
Griffith and DeVos flipped spots this week, otherwise the top 10 remained the same at 174. Haven’t seen much from Starocci and Lewis, but that should change with conference duals coming.

10. Isaiah Salazar – Minnesota (10)
Plott moved up to No. 2 this week while Truax suffered his first loss and fell to No. 5. But again, the top 10 remained the same, just with some shifts among the rankings. Munoz also moved up two spots and is 12-2 on the year.

This weight did not change at all across the top 10 wrestlers. Actually, the entire top 33 stayed the same this week so no movement! Still, everyone’s chasing Brooks.
