NEWTON, Iowa - Wrestling International Newsmagazine has released its first NCAA Division I wrestling rankings for the 2006-07 season. As in previous years, the W.I.N. rankings are based on who are currently the best individuals and tournament teams. Teams are not ranked on dual-meet strength. 

The rankings are compiled after receiving feedback from the collegiate wrestling coaches. The committee then takes that information and looks at the team and individual performances from past years to come up with the final rankings.
