I'm agnostic myself and don't believe God or any higher power is invested in me being better than someone else. But, I've been fascinated by the number of athletes across different sports who really go full in on the God psychology. This is just my opinion and not based on any reputable study. Right or wrong I think the "God" in most athletes psyches is just another tool to keep them motivated and focused on success. Creating a God as some guiding light gives them a higher purpose and can increase motivation. So it can be a very effective tool & when competing at the highest level you need every little angle or edge you can find to keep you ahead of your competition

Penn State has qualified 9 & a Carter

That's irrelevant to seeding

Ramirez has a conference title and in common opponent (Carr) Ramirez edges Hamiti

Can you create/start the thread for PSU is below average 125-149, Nebraska is better, etc. I'm asking for a friend. He's been itching for a cinnabon. Can you glaze it with PSU wont win the tournament or something that's extra sweet?

Carter? Yeah he's there. You just can't see him. His favorite game to play with team photos is Where's Carter? Hint, blue & white striped shirt & beanie, glasses, hair parted over his left eye. Blue pants

Posted that almost immediately after this thread popped up...what a coincidence

Unless the formula has changed here's a breakdown between Carr & Ramirez so I could be wrong on ranking Ramirez higher...Based on last Coaches Poll & RPI Carr | Ramirez Head-to-head competition — 25 percent 0 | 25 Quality wins — 20 percent ? | ? Coaches Ranking — 15 percent 15 | 0 Results against common opponents — 10 percent 10 | 0 RPI — 10 percent 10 | 0 Qualifying event placement — 10 percent 0 | 10 Win % — 10 percent 5 | 5

That's not how it works

Yes, that's how the formula works. They also have the same winning % and Ramirez has a conference championship. He'll score higher on the formula

#1 O'Toole #2 Mesenbrink #3 Ramirez #4 Carr #5 Hamiti....I get it no one wants a Carr/O' Toole semis but Ramirez has the head to head and a conference championship

No one wants it but you can't punish Ramirez for winning the head to head and winning his conference. That's part of the formula they use for seeding

Ramirez has the head to head

KOT all the way

Seeds #1 O'Toole #2 Mesenbrink #3 Ramirez #4 Carr # 5 Hamiti?

Good Point. Quality wins is 20% which I believe Davis should have another advantage

OH MY GOD! This is how it happens. All these years I didn't realize how it happened to Jimmy. Thank you for saving my life Ionel

I'm a PSU fan

& Mesenbrink's dad John

Not this year

Fair point. Wonder if the loss to Jax Forrest will play into it at all even if it's not officially on Stanich's record for seeding

At this point Braeden has far more better wins and far better losses. Hard to see him not jumping Stanich

Our Aaron, Who art in State College, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Championships come, Thy Will be done, On Happy Valley as it is in Kansas City. Give us this day, our daily medal, And forgive us our stalls, as we forgive those who stall against us. And lead us not into cradles, but deliver us from pinfelled.

Probably. He has better wins and better losses than all the other conference champs
