CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Oregon State wrestling team is not ranked in the Top 25 in this week's USA Today/National Wrestling Coaches Association's poll, which was released on Tuesday. The Beavers were among teams also receiving votes.

There was no change at the top. Oklahoma State was again ranked No. 1 by USA Today/NWCA, followed by Penn State, Iowa, Ohio State and Missouri. Future OSU opponents in the rankings were Rutgers (12), Stanford (15), Oklahoma (17), Arizona State (19) and Drexel (24). Future opponent Wyoming also received votes.

OSU returns to action on Dec. 15 with a dual against Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. The Reno Tournament of Champions (Dec. 18) and the Ken Kraft Midlands Tournament (Dec. 29-30) conclude action for the calendar year.

Four Beavers earned Top-20 consideration in their respective weight classes by Amateur Wrestling News. Three were ranked by The Open Mat and two by InterMat in those website's weekly evaluations.

The team was ranked No. 23 in InterMat's dual-meet poll, but was not included in the tournament rankings.
Beavers in the individual rankings were:

Senior 141-pounder Joey Palmer (5-2) is ranked No. 18 by AWN and The Open Mat.
Senior 149-pounder Joey Delgado (7-3) is ranked No. 13 by The Open Mat, No. 18 by AWN and No. 19 by The Open Mat. He placed fifth at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational last weekend, which moved him up two spots in The Open Mat rankings and into the AWN and InterMat rankings.
Redshirt sophomore 197-pounder Corey Griego (7-4) is ranked No. 12 by The Open Mat, No. 14 by InterMat and No. 15 by AWN. He also placed fifth at the Cliff Keen Invitational.
Redshirt junior heavyweight Cody Crawford (3-2) is ranked No. 19 by the AWN.

OSU's begins Pacific-12 Conference action against Stanford on Jan. 30, 2017, at Gill Coliseum. The Beavers are five-time defending Pac-12 champions.
