Calculated points against the published standings

Points are calculated from the 1972 bouts under the 1972 rules: advancement (including byes), bonus, guaranteed-place increments, and any documented adjustments. 100 of 105 programs match the published total exactly; 5 differ; 31 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.
