Those numbers mean next to nothing without considering strength of competition. Hodge voters won’t be fooled. Carl’s dodging competition for half of the season will cost them.

Penn State also has the highest RPI of any team, but stay uninformed.

And it is actually 4 of the top 5 as Barr (5.0) is missing from the list.

Not sure what’s uninformed about it…I agree, a ranking of individual wrestlers by rpi is more interesting and useful than the op’s list.

Mendez wins. Period.

Well. PSU is kinda good at wrestling.

I saw this list earlier and it was pointed out immediately that it was missing Barr. Anyone know why?? He has 15 matches I believe. Typo? Typical NCAA excellence in everything they do?? Is he lacking in some measurable you need to be listed???
