When the Ohio State wrestling team kicks off its season Saturday at the Princeton Open, it will do so as the No. 2 team in the country, behind reigning national champion Penn State. The Nittany Lions and Buckeyes came in No. 1 and 2 in the first USA Today/NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll released by the National Wrestling Coaches Association Tuesday.
Penn State, which won its sixth title in the past seven years and seventh overall, gained all 16 first-place votes to come in as the unanimous No. 1 team in the country.
