AgaveMaria Posted Saturday at 02:39 AM Posted Saturday at 02:39 AM Oklahoma State, Iowa, Penn State. The big dogs with a few others maybe fitting in as they won a number of titles before Iowa found the formula. A few others in the mix but not dynasty teams. Good & occasionally great but not sustainable. Oklahoma and Iowa State are two of those. Good and won a number of titles but not like OSU, Iowa and now Penn State. OSU did it with different coaches through the decades. Iowa was Gable & a few runs after he retired. Penn State is the big dog now. When you are winning you attract wrestlers who want to be part of the magic. Wrestlers who want to compete at the highest levels. A number of them who want to wresle for "The Coach" - and it perpetuates itself, at least for a time. No matter the Coach and team no one gets all the top guys. The coaches of these teams somehow have kids who wrestle to their potential. who buy into the system and work for it - for some reason moreso than at other schools. This year Penn State underperformed and still set a scoring record - breaking the one they set last year. At one point Iowa under Dan Gable won nine titles in a row. What is it that has these schools so dominant for so long? 2 ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

What is it that has these schools so dominant for so long? I feel like you answered your own question...multiple times. When did Penn State become dominant? What has happened to Okie State in the past 12 months?

peanut Posted Sunday at 12:34 PM Posted Sunday at 12:34 PM The Dynasies: 1928 to 1971- Oklahoma State 1975 to 2000- Iowa 2011 to Present- Penn State In the ten championships from 2001 to 2010, there was no clear top dog: Oklahoma State won four times Iowa won three times Minnesota won three times Iowa State and Oklahoma broke through a number of times (eight for Iowa State and seven for Oklahoma), but when they did so it was always during another team's era. 1 1
