You think people are going to forget they happened? Seriously?

For hodge consideration?   Correct me if I’m wrong.  The peeps on this board will not forget but it will factor in the actual hodge criteria I thought.  
 

Don’t forget both 174 and 197 psu have already dodged top 8 or better competition this year already.

They also teched or majored top 8 competition in Wittlake + Incontrera, and Smith, respectively.

KOT isn't even guaranteed to make the finals much less win the whole thing. Don't forget that even though he won when it mattered most, he dropped two matches to Carr last year including getting pinned at Big 12s. Anyone who has Carr above KOT has a very sound argument to do so. It's not like this is a weak bracket like 125 this year or 197 the past couple years, at 165 these are two elite level NCAA *champions and three age-group world champions. Someone's going down Friday night and someone's going down Saturday night, and we might see the results flipped a month later at OTT.

Carr could win, but there is absolutely no way Carr should be ranked ahead of O’Toole.

And of course this thread is about the Hodge so is assuming O’Toole needs to go undefeated to win it.

You think guys bring their best in an exhibition match? Seriously?

Wrestlers tend to be competitive people.  When a guy who is #1 faces off against a guy who is #2, I don't really think they care if the results end up on track or not, they're going to handle their business.

O’toole should be at the top. He just majored Ramirez and his only matches that weren’t bonus were against other top ten guys. 

Much closer than the score might lead you to believe.  TD and swipes were bull....
