It is precisely why Lee is actually only supposed to be a 1x Hodge recipient. Steveson won it fair and square, the committee stepped in, unfairly. Domination is a determining factor. That means the more bonus the better. That is why O'Toole should be the clear #1 if Lee wrestles a shortened season - if he finishes undefeated. His style lends itself to bonus point output more than the rest, aside for Brooks. In reality it will likely come down to Brooks anf O'Toole if Lee is on a pitch count. I do not think that is quite true. Though it is hard to be 100% certain given what I have seen written about the process, I think the formula is used to narrow down the field of finalists. Then voters choose among those finalists. Obviously, the voters can be instructed to given weight to certain factors, but of course some do and some don't. And the very presence of voters means that it is not formulaic. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trophy is based primarily on the results of a single season, but past accomplishments are considered as well, particularly in years where the competition is tighter. The winner of the Hodge Trophy is determined based on a voting process that includes previous Hodge members, national media members, retired college coaches from each region of the United States and a representative of the national wrestling organizations in the country. Each voter is given one ballot containing the finalists, typically a group of approximately four undefeated wrestlers from the previous season, though the 2021 season included six finalists. Fans also have a chance to vote for the Hodge winner, and the athlete with the most fan votes will receive two first-place votes in the count. Voting is typically conducted after the conclusion of the NCAA tournament, and the winner is announced in April. Schools traditionally honor the Hodge winner during a fall football game as well.

I was just going to look for that. Thanks. It is what I read that made me re-think the idea that it is purely formulaic. If it is a formula, why do we have voters? So the explanation that made sense to me (though completely unconfirmed) is that is a two stage process. Stage one is the objective portion where the formula is applied to determine the list of finalists. Stage two is the subjective portion where voters are provided the results of the formula to guide their choice, but they are not bound by the formula (or else it would not even be a choice). And as I type that it occurs to me that for the fan vote I do not recall if WIN shares the formula result to guide our votes.

He said he found out that Steveson ended up winning the vote and it gave him the separation criteria to win. Whether or not folks care to admit it, Askren would be much more in the know on this than the average bbs keyboard warrior is. Ok, so he may have won the vote, doesn’t mean he “should have” won the vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
