Ratings Based NCAA Projections 2/6/24: The Ruh Roh Edition

[Wrestleknownothing]

With Braeden Davis' absolutely dominating, clear victory over the weekend bumping him up a spot to #2 along with a new #1 at 141, PSU looks like they may just pull this one out.

Can We Have A Six Way Tie For Second?

But before we get to the top of the podium, why can't anyone hang on to the #2 spot? That is not a complaint. I love the volatility in the 2 - 10 range.

We are on our SIXTH team expected to finish second this year. The new ruler of the other guys is Oklahoma "34 and Counting (very, very slowly)" State.

Oklahoma State succeeds Iowa, who succeeded Missouri, who succeeded Iowa, who succeeded NC State, who succeeded Nebraska, who succeeded Missouri, who succeeded NC State, who succeeded Cornell.

 

The Race For 170 (171.5)

PSU projected points are a mere 151.6. But....and this may come as a surprise.... but PSU tends to outperform the average team. +24.7 for the PSU bump.

Now we are at 176.3.

Ruh Roh, indeed.

Apparently, PSU wrestling fans (the ones who go to their events) are getting bored with winning all the time…. (Starting at 9:01)

I like the last answers.

Q: "What exactly are you going to be doing in practice to prepare your guys for Rutgers and adjust for (unintelligible)?"

A: "Just working on those adjustments. Is that helpful?"

Q: "In particular, what kind of adjustments?"

A: "Um, just like wrestling stuff. Wrestling sports stuff. Just trying to score some points."

It was like he was talking to Pyle.
