Elevator Posted March 5 Posted March 5 4 hours ago, BigRedFan said: This. Fernandez got the first two takedowns, was in deep about three more times, and gave up a very late takedown. The ref failed to give Fernandez back points on the first takedown. Swisher really only had that one TD attempt the whole match, it seemed. that ref failed to award back points for Swisher as well!
BigRedFan Posted March 5 Posted March 5 4 minutes ago, Elevator said: that ref failed to award back points for Swisher as well! The difference is that Fernandez earned them, and Swisher didn't.
ugarles Posted March 5 Posted March 5 1 hour ago, BigRedFan said: The difference is that Fernandez earned them, and Swisher didn't. i'm still on the fence about that. the rules may say that swisher didn't earn back points based on a technical understanding of when neutral danger or change of control applies but even i thought those were two points in spirit for swisher.
nhs67 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Is anyone else more than slightly annoyed that DePrez is the #3 seed and Cardenas the #2 Seed? How? "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

Red Blades Posted March 6 Posted March 6 4 hours ago, nhs67 said: Is anyone else more than slightly annoyed that DePrez is the #3 seed and Cardenas the #2 Seed? How? That is surprising. What I saw elsewhere is that the EIWA uses a very broad based point system, and so while DePrez does have the head-to-head and CR advantage, Cardenas likely scored higher based on overall resume. Still it's a head scratcher, but effectively a distinction without a difference. They should still meet in semis. 2

DePrez's coaches at Binghamton didn't challenge. Seems odd. Appears they got hosed at 184lbs as well. Nolan's only loss was to Foca, the #1 seed. 51 minutes ago, Red Blades said: That is surprising.

I don't see how a guy who is 19W-1L with one loss to the 1 seed gets seeded below a 18W-5L guy who lost to the 19W-1L guy and the 1 seed as well as two other guys non-conference.

In their defense - I think they did a much better job this year than recent past years. And their job will be much simpler starting next year. 1

In their defense - I think they did a much better job this year than recent past years. And their job will be much simpler starting next year. If they were to come out and say 'Hey. We used a ratings system that is based purely on metrics.' then I would actually be satisfied... to an extent. I would have still expected some sort of coach review. It shouldn't have to just be the Binghamton coach (who should have said WTF with DePrez at 197 AND Nolan at 184) that should have pointed out "Hey... wtf... that is dumb." Unless all the coaches are clueless as to what is happening within the conference, particularly the #1 ranked/rated school (Cornell). If that is the case, then I think we aren't asking enough of head coaches. Seems quite simple. Keep in mind two from every conference do the coaches ranking, which is part of the AQ and seeding criteria for NCAAs. 1 "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me
nhs67 Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Honestly, looking further in to some of the other weights, it makes me think that they took in to last years results as well. Either at EIWA, NCAA, or both. I get that to an extent. Still a no-brainer oversight. "I know actually nothing. It isn't even conjecture at this point." - me

If Binghamton wants to press the issue, now is when they would do it, not before the conference applies their formula. Nothing to press for there. It's an 8 point differential in Step 1. 5 is the challenge limit.

Not sure it would have mattered. Do the coaches care about the difference betwen Whitworth or Volk-Klos in the first round? Or Crawford/Wehmeyer in the second? Probably not very much. 1

Keep in mind two from every conference do the coaches ranking, which is part of the AQ and seeding criteria for NCAAs. Another poster on here (and on the Lehigh Forum) has been involved with the EIWA seeding in the past, and has relayed stories of epic seeding arguments - alas, you would think common sense should prevail, but far too often politics and protection of individual interests rules. As a result, as I understand, the conference went to a strictly metrics-based system, with very limited opportunity for adjustment. Last year and the year prior, some of the results seemed just nutty. This year, it appears they made some good corrections. A big part of the difficulty is that there is such a huge disparity in scheduling throughout the conference, and too little head to head matches - many EIWA teams do not face each other during the dual season - so identifying appropriate and sufficiently universal metrics is hard.
Elevator Posted March 6 Posted March 6 I think coaches may make strategic decisions about the quarterfinal matchups when deciding whether and how hard to lobby to move from 3 to 2. Hard to know the particular motivations unless they are expressed. Might be better use of energy to challenge from 4 to 3 seed. Coaches have different views on these things. 1
