Greatest 3xer of the Wrestlestat era

Thanks.  And now if you eliminate some the double counting of rows in normalized spreadsheet how much more of a gap between low and high happens for Nolf, Nickal, and Retherford.  And how much would Spencer improve?

Lowest number being better, using that method, I am going to go Nolf, NIckal, Retherford, then TBD.

I had a feeling Spencer would look better.

 

Spencer Lee hopscotches Bo Nickal, but it gets more so for Jason Nolf.

What would you eliminate?

[Wrestleknownothing]

One other thing I failed to explain is the rank stats.

These are the average wrestlestat ranks of the opponents that each wrestler pinfell, TF'ed, and MD'ed. A lower average value means that the wrestler beat tougher competition, in the sense that WrestleStat has/had the competition ranked higher. For example, Spencer Lee pinned guys with an average rank of 50 while Kyle Snyder was pinning lower ranked competition.

The good news is that no one can argue with WrestleStat rankings.

Thank you. TFs? Were all the losses decisions?

He lost 4-8 to St. John early in year , Lost 2-3 to  St. John in NCAA I cant find his 3rd loss give me another minute, No TFS

I would probably delete the % sum (% bonus of all matches), because it is derivative of prior rows.

When weighting, I probably wouldn't weight Average Pin or TF time very much.  Some of that may depend too much on the coaches strategy for what he wants the wrestler to work on, or the weakness of the particular opponents who were Pinfalled or TFed.

I have to read the meaning of the Average win-type rank, because I'm not sure weather that was already covered.  Without reading, I would probably delete them.

I might also change tourney points to average tourney finish (so not to again value Pinfall & TF & MD).

Then I would delete lowest Tournament finish, since it would already be covered in average tournament finish.  If one DNQ or place, shove lowest round placement eliminated (12, 16, 33).

See I didn't read this earlier.  Maybe you addressed my question.  Regardless, I probably wouldn't weight this as high.  Styles not projections from algorithms make matches.

Beat the Missouri kid twice in duels his 3rd loss had to come from a tournament can't find it yet

Bo Nickal is looking sheepishly at Jason Nolf wondering how his teammate has none. 

My biggest takeaway from all these stats is how on earth did Jason Nolf never win the Hodge Trophy?!

Lost to Vollrath TB1 2-1 semi Scuffle.

@Ivan Stankowski Time for the Dieringer Addition

Caveat: I am assuming all of Alex Dieringer's freshman year wins, pinfalls, and MD's were over D1 competition. That is not a good assumption. His sophomore through senior years he had 6 pinfalls, 1 TF, and 1 MD over non-D1 competition. I am not sure it would make a substantive difference though in the rate stats. It has the chance to change his win total, however. And since he leads by only one in that category, it could have an impact.

Caveat 2: The Time and Rank stats above are for just his sophomore through senior seasons.

And rankings:

Ouch..... Must've had some academic troubles then. Just some high level numbers, but here are the acceptance rates for some comparable programs as of 2021... 

• Cornell - 14%
• Michigan - 21%
• Ohio State - 27%
• Penn State - 49%
• Wisconsin - 53%
• Iowa - 82%
• Iowa State - 86%
• Oklahoma State - 86%

So you're sayin' there is a 14% chance I don't get into Okie State?

Pretty sure there's actually no chance you are getting into Oklahoma State.  I'll bet you two bottles of that most excellent bourbon you were drinking last weekend.

There's a bit more to the story than simple acceptance rates.  Looking at the numbers it shows what we'd expect - universities that we expect are better academically appear to be harder to get into.  But it also indicates something else - universities that are in more populated states have larger application numbers and thus lower acceptance rates.  The answer is probably some of both. 

If only we knew someone good with data, tables & graphs who could put these data on a state population/per capita basis.

Well... I was thinking along the lines of this guy... he got accepted!

Or... perhaps, something like this fella here... 

He just made the Dean's list.

Awesome breakdown, thanks for sharing this thread.

 

Had no idea Snyder had 4 career losses. Thought it was like 2, but my brain doesn't feel like working at the moment.

Related to above trying to find a photo of Wkn, think I've got his made up name but this pic doesn't tell us much.

5 losses

Per WrestleStat

Author's Note:

I want to apologize for WresdtleStat. They have something called a FALL, but as any dipshiz can tell you that should be pinfall. Management regrets any inconvenience this may cause you.
