College wrestling rankings: InterMat updates all 10 weight classes after Week 6

With the 2024-25 NCAA Wrestling ongoing, InterMat released their updated individual rankings following Week 6 of the season.

The dual season is already great but there were some big changes this week after the CKLV Tournament. In one of the big in-season competitions, the rankings got a shakeup.

We’ll dive into the top 10 at each weight, while listing the full rankings below.

6. Brendan McCrone, Ohio State (+4)
7. Jore Volk, Wyoming
8. Vincent Robinson, NC State (+4)
