Jimmy Cinnabon Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 It doesn't really matter assuming they wrestle each other this weekend but how does Intermat explain this given that All-Star match results aren't supposed to influence rankings?

The All-Star Match doesn't influence seedings. Media outlets are well within their rights to pick and choose what events they consider or how they consider things like injury defaults, etc. The only place they officially aren't supposed to influence a ranking would be the NCAA coaches ranking. And yes, I'm taking the bait. Edited January 24, 2023 by Jason Bryant Insert catchy tagline here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it does not answer the question of why Intermat (which is who we are talking about, right?) put Kerk ahead of Cass. I don't think their ranking is crazy as Kerk was ahead of Cass before his loss to Parris and Kerk has not lost to Cass this year. But if I was ranking, I'd put Cass #2 as he is undefeated and has a lot more wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is Kerk #2 and Cass #3? Very simple..Kerk finished ahead of Cass at last years NCAA's..that was the starting point for this year's rankings..Kerk 1, Parris 2 Cass 3. Kerk lost to Parris and they flip flop. It will all be settled Friday anyway..not sure if you were trolling with this post but if not, at least you now know how this happened Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Callo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I know the answer to this one! Kerk WAS # 1, and Parris WAS #2 so when Parris beats Kerk 3-1 they switch places. The arguments being made that CASS should be ahead of Kerk are not really changed by Kerk losing to Parris. If CASS should have been ranked ahead of Kerk why didn’t anyone complain before this week?

I don't recall any that pertain to college wrestling rankings though. I know there used to be government regulations on newspapers. I would assume there are also government regulations of some sort on internet media. I kind of doubt any of those involve college wrestling rankings either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveira Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The reason independent ranking services can do what they want is in a set of recently leaked classified documents. Unfortunately we will never know the reason outlined in those documents. them’s the breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
