I believe Stiles has started the season at 157, so many of his matches are at that weight.

EDIT: this came out too assholey. I'll just agree to disagree.

Even if I accept your argument (I don't but for arguments sake) It's still indirect. The only thing that is directly included is quality wins, and they are all weighted equally. For example, Keegan O'Toole's win over Levi Haines is treated the same as Dean Hamiti's win over, like, Jared Simma.

If it's Millard for Minny, I'll consider the bet void.

A fool and his sig are soon parted.

Signature works for me.

Excellent! What are the stakes?

-1.5 Askey?

You just called him the favorite!

Well that smells like a bet. How many points you giving me?

He did slow Gable down. Again, relatively. I think Kerk holds it to a decision, but he's the only guy with the requisite athleticism and ability.

I think he could tech Kueter because Kueter has looked a little like he's lunged out on different occasions, but I would say major is the most likely outcome. Of course, if Minny could win the dual with a tech....

Teemer is the only person listed on Iowa's probable sheet.

I predicted a major for both Gable and Vombaur in the other thread, so I agree. The only reason I put Gable at "only" a major is because the thing that seems to slow him down is anybody with some athleticism. Slow down being a relative term here.

125: Cruz DEC Flynn 133: Ayala DEC Wells 141: Vombaur MDEC Iowa 149: Parco DEC Roberts 157: Teemer DEC Askey 165: Caliendo DEC Sparks 174: Kennedy MDEC Whiting/Brands DEC Whiting 184: McEnelly DEC Arnold 197: Buchanan DEC Salazar HW: Steveson MDEC Kueter Iowa 18-11 or 17-11 depending on who goes at 174.

I would pound that PSU line...if I knew for sure Kasak was wrestling. As it is, I have it as 29-6 w/ Kasak wrestling.

Wreslestat has Iowa/Minny it 15-15, but they're predicting Salazar over Buchanan which seems...unlikely. They're also predicting Steveson by DEC over Kueter, which would involve a miracle.

Actually, not directly. I feel like this comes up every year. The seeding matrix used at the NCAAs does not directly take into account the losses other than in win/loss percentage and RPI, and those are both overall low pieces of the ranking matrix. Factors in the NCAA seeding matrix Head-to-head competition: 25% of the total score Quality wins: 20% of the total score Coaches' rankings: 15% of the total score Results against common opponents: 10% of the total score RPI (Ratings Percentage Index): 10% of the total score Qualifying event placement: 10% of the total score Win %: 10% of the total score

At NCAAs, yes. At the B1Gs, though...?

I think there's a distinct chance that the B1G guys have some of the other conference guys jump them (outside of Henson, obviously). McNeil, Johnson, Lamer, Realbuto, Stiles all have good resumes. If I had to guess, I'd say B1G winner gets the 2 seed, the B1G runner up the 4 seed, and the B1G 3rd placer like 6 or 7.

I don't think there's anyway Ross isn't a heavy.

It can be a silly criteria and also have a dramatic affect on something. For example, the Hodge Trophy used to have a criteria of "Heart" and "Citizenship." Those are obviously silly criteria to use to determine either the best or most dominant college wrestler, but there they were. The argument is pretty simple: Their wins against each other cancel each other out, and Parco has a slightly better resume in terms of wins than Lovett (and one less loss). I'm not saying I subscribe to that opinion necessarily, but the argument is pretty simple.

If one loss was in November vs. Januaru...sure. The SVN-Lovett match was separated from the SVN-Parco match by one match.

This is silly logic. So of course they'll use it
