NEWTON, Iowa - Wrestling International Newsmagazine (W.I.N.) has released its NCAA Div. I Preseason Dual Team ranking, a Top-20 rating of all 10 individual weights and this season's initial Tournament Power Index (T.P.I.) of where teams could finish in next March's NCAA Div. I Championships in St. Louis, Mo.

Iowa, the defending Div. I champion in both the NWCA National Duals and the NCAA tournament, has been tabbed as the favorite in both events this year.

Among the individual rankings, five returning champs - Indiana's Angel Escobedo at 125, Ohio State's J Jaggers at 141, Iowa's Brent Metcalf, Cornell's Jordan Leen at 157 and Ohio State's Mike Pucillo at 184 - are ranked No. 1 at their respective weights.

W.I.N. Div. I rankings will be released on a weekly basis beginning Dec. 1, 2008. Any additional media outlets that would like to receive these rankings should contact W.I.N. editor Mike Finn at mikef@win-magazine.com.
