Don't you mean credit to PSU?

Iowa sure loves its wrestling. I expect OSU attendance to increase exponentially with Taylor in place.

Yep... total credit for them coming out to the West - as I have said many times on the board - classy program as they do that each year for teams.... It was also no easy task to get 2k to Corvallis for Cal Poly on a Friday night at 6pm.  We actually had a 3rd dual with Little Rock, but it was tagged on to the big HS  Resers Tournament of Champions.

Considering they are ranked by average only having two meets helps their ranking.

If my math is right the non-PSU meet had 1,940 fans puttig them at 17th for that ranking

Nice to see NCSU at #6. Strong scheduling helped this past year.

So you point out how two meets helps their ranking, but then use the lowest attended match to rank them 17th  for average....okay. How about we rank based on highest attended match of the season? Hmmm...looks like the 5th highest attended match of the season.

Not trying to sh*t on them, just countering your point that they were 5th despite only had two meets, plus showing off my top notch math skills.

1,940 for a meet does not seem terrible either, especially compared to some of the other "big-time" programs

Haha - no problem - I take victories when I can  - your math skills were spot on - with an 8500 dual and only 2 it does makes the average go up - I get that - but it's also not the same to take their lowest and then place that as their average. If it were a "normal" dual year - say 6 duals - it probably would have averaged out around 2600-ish per dual - which would have been around 13-14. If they would have added the Little Rock dual that was off-site it probably would have been around 4k.  As a side note- without Iowa coming to town, Cal Baptist would have been sunk...200+ per dual - ouch.

I got to visit Oregon state and watch the PAC 12 tournament there this year.  There was a decent crowd for that event too.
