The popular but not stellar Ryan Garcia thoroughly thrashed the highly skilled and lauded Devin Haney last spring in a pay per view upset that sent the boxing world reeling.

As in previous years, SwimSwam’s Power Rankings are somewhere between the CSCAA-style dual meet rankings and a pure prediction of NCAA finish order.

James Sutherland, Braden Keith, Spencer Penland, Robert Gibbs, Yanyan Li, and Anya Pelshaw contributed to this…
