Reconstruction · 1970 NCAA Championships

1970 team scores

The team standings fans should quote are the NCAA’s published ones. This page shows the working behind them: every program’s points recomputed from the recorded matches, and how close that comes to the published total.

Reconstructed points against the published standings

Points are recomputed from the 1970 recorded matches under the 1968 rules: advancement (including byes), bonus, guaranteed-place increments, and any curated adjustments. 109 of 110 programs match the published total exactly; 1 differ; 45 are not listed in the published standings.

Wrestlers from College Division, later Division II and III, programs competed at these championships but their points did not count toward the team title, so the NCAA’s published standings do not list those programs.
