Expected Champs by Conference and School

[Wrestleknownothing]

Last year was a banner year for the EIWA as they led all conferences with 4 individual champions. It was the first time since 1963 that they had the most champions.

This year is looking a little different as they have about a 90% chance of just 1 champion. And almost all of that chance comes from the two-headed monster of Crookham and Arujau.

After a down year last year the Big 10 looks to have 4 or 5 champs, followed by the Big 12's 2 or 3 champs.

• Is the Big 12 the surprise conference that gets more champs than the Big 10 this year?

By school it looks like this:

PSU leads the way at 2.6 expected champs, followed by Missouri (0.9), Nebraska (0.8), and Iowa (0.8).

• Does anyone other than PSU get multiple champs?

Glory, Arujau, Diakomihalis.  Who did I miss?

With 125 being what it is this season, I wouldn't be totally shocked if Surtin wins, giving Mizzou 2 potential champs. 

I wouldn't bet on it though

No one. I mistakenly had Pitt in EIWA. My apologies.

So everything but the number 4 is accurate in the original post. EIWA did lead all conferences with 3 champs.

Don't worry- you only missed by 48 years!

Exactly...rounding error.

I still make that mistake occasionally.  With Rutgers, too.

Penn State had two champs and Michigan one, so that gave the B1G three champs as well.
