Padberg introduced the notion of geometric ranks for mixed integer polyhedra. This involves in ranking the facets that define a polyhedron. He later conjectured that the geometric rank of the matching polytope is 1. In this work, we showed this conjecture to be true. We do this by showing that every non-zero ranked facet is adjacent to some rank zero facet by making use of some structural results about factor critical graphs.
