Myles Martin's senior season.  It was his weight and he dominated all year then just blew it in the semis against Max Dean.  

In the moment that felt true, but looking back did Martin stumble or did he happen to run into a better wrestler with the context we now have about Dean's pedigree?

Taylor's junior year when he took the Dake losses was also a masterclass: 30-3 record including the All Star Classic

14 pins + 10 techs + 5 majors and only ONE decision = 87.7% bonus rate despite three losses.

If you replace Dake with that year's third place Tyler Caldwell, who Taylor majored 10-0, then it is very reasonable to assume that Taylor would have finished the year 33-0 with only a single decision for a bonus rate of 96.9%. Only a multiple time world champion and world/olympic medalist could stand up to the folkstyle force of what Taylor had transcended to.

NCAA summary of Taylor by season since Wrestlestat didn't exist yet.
