Rankings Week of 11/18/24 - Can't We All Just Get Along?

[Wrestleknownothing]

Flo and Intermat still have a number of disagreements on who should be/is the starter at a number of slots. I have not done the research to see who is right. But I know a few off the top of my head. Daniel Cardenas is redshirting at Stanford. And they are both just guessing at 197 for PSU. Can anyone else fill in the gaps?

 

There are also a number of wrestlers where there is consensus on who is starting, but a big difference of opinion on where they should be ranked. The table is sorted from largest to smallest difference (Flo minus Intermat) and filtered to include only those where the absolute value of the difference is seven or more.

For the starters.

ISU 165: Euton wrestled both duals, Gaitan wrestled in the Grand View Open.  Gotta say it’s Euton right now.  I think Flo is correct

LR 165: They haven’t wrestled a D1 dual yet.  I’d gotta say it’s Bianchi, it doesn’t look like Abdon has ever beaten someone in wrestlestat’s top 60, so even if he was the starter I’m not sure how he gets ranked 22 unless they are just giving him credit for Bianchi’s wins.  I think Intermat is correct.

PSU 197: Cochran wrestled their only dual, gotta say it’s him right now.  I think Flo is correct

Rutgers 149: Cetta wrestled against LIU and F&M, Clark wrestled against NC State and Duke.  Gotta say it’s Clark.  I think Flo is correct.

Stanford 157: Yeah I thought Cardenas was redshirting. I think Intermat is correct. 

Virginia 133: Porter has wrestled both duals, I think Intermat is correct.  Although Yarbrough has not wrestled at all, so unless he’s injured I’m not sure he should be in there all (which looks to be wrestlestat’s current opinion).

So IMO I’ve got 3 for Flo and 3 for Intermat

As for the rankings, haven’t looked too closely at most of these.  But starting with some of the higher ones…

I don’t see how Ed Scott can still be in the top 10 after losing twice to guys in the 20ish or worse range.  I lean towards Flo here.

I also don’t see how you can put Renteria into the top 10 basically off of 1 win last season.  I lean towards Intermat here.

Relating to our other discussion, IMO it is somewhat inconsistent for Intermat to put Ferrari #1, but Sasso #11 with both coming back from serious injuries.  I actually think Flo is being consistent here by putting both Sasso and Ferrari high, but not as high as they could be based solely on prior results.

BTW wrestlestat agrees with you on 5 out of 6. The  only difference is that they have Josh Bar  starting for PSU at 197.
