Week 9 of the Weekly Review. When all of the services have posted their rankings, I'll post a reply indicating that the Review is complete.

Not a lot of movement in the regular rankings. A good bit of movement for some PSU wrestlers in the computer-generated rankings.

Also, while it may be a tad early, in that the computer-generated rankings are still somewhat premature due to the thin amount of data with which to work, I've decided to start the Average Without Computer Rankings, and Average With Computer Rankings, for this season. An explanation about them is listed below. Part of why I elected to start the weekly averages, is how little variance there was between the Average With and the Average Without values.

A reminder that: 1) different services treat freshman (RS or True) differently at the beginning of the season, 2) different services rank a differing number of prospects per weight class, and 3) computer generated rankings usually are off a good bit at the beginning of the season.

As a reminder, it's Average Without Computer Rankings, and Average With Computer Rankings. The Average Without is an average of everything except the Dual Impact Index, and WrestleStat. The Average With includes the aforementioned. Also, while it's not a factor at this point, the criteria is that a wrestler must be listed in at least half of the rankings to be included in the Averages. As this is the 1st week of the Averages for this season, there are no parenthesis for prior week Average rankings.
