2020-21 NCAA D1 Pretend Preseason Rankings

149

The NCAA has decided not to grant winter sport athletes another year of eligibility. These preseason rankings, however, have been assembled presupposing that those extra years were granted and that everyone elected to return and compete. We had to make a bunch of other assumptions too since it's April and all sorts of speculative lineup decisions have yet to be hypothetically made. So best not to take these too seriously, even though it would be incredibly cool if it happened. But no, only in our dreams. As real as it may seem, it will only occur in our dreams.

Lugo and Kolodzik both get another crack at the title. How wonderful! Also Pohlmeyer, Putinton, Thomsen and Zacherl! How excellent! And lamentably fictitious :'- (

One name who will be in the collegiate ranks next season is Southern Scuffle champion Jaden Abas, who should be the guy fro Stanford at 149. He'll start the year in the teens but should move into the top 10 before long.
