Ahh. Now I get it. Probably right. I have occassionally forgotten to apply that filter and then wonder why the results look off.

There have been 5 tournaments of 33 seeds (2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024) And five tournaments of 16 seeds (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018)

That is very time frame dependent as the full lookback includes periods where DNP started with 4th place, 5th place, 7th place, and 9th place at various times.

He will likely get penalized for wrestling a very weak schedule. The difference between his coaches' poll ranking and his RPI ranking is the third largest in the field.

Ferrari is third in the coaches' rank and sixteenth in the RPI list. I have to believe RPI and quality wins are closely related, so he is probably pretty far down in that too.

Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.

You are getting sensitive. The Musk/Trump economy must be getting to you. But worry not. Trump will end inflation on day 1, he will end the war in Ukraine on day 1. I can't wait for day 1. But always keep in mind, Trump has contempt for you. As for your math (or the math someone else did that you blindly accept), it may have been true at one time, but after the incineration job Musk/Trump has done to the economy, it is no longer true. And do you only listen to people who have more money than you? Is that how you measure your own self-worth? By your net worth? That would be a sad way to live. As long as we are quoting memes, it has also been said that behind every great fortune lies a great crime.

I agree, but what I think it is is lack of attention to detail. The coaches submit their starters and rather than filtering that list down to the 330 who made the tournament, I suspect they are using an unfiltered list. As for RPI, yes, many of the differences come down to match totals, but there are also wrestlers on the RPI list who did not make the tournament. And no actual RPIs are listed. Just a little sloppy. This also makes it impossible to check their work. In another post @jdalu75 does they math to demonstrate small errors can have impacts on who makes the tournament and who does not.

Not forgetting them. I just did not go that low.

Well not in wrestling, but I am sure in something. According to the last coaches' rankings Nebraska has surpassed Oklahoma State for the third podium spot and is just a tad behind Iowa for second. Even that ~80 point gap to PSU is manageable. For details check with @jajensen09 One caveat. The coaches' rankings, for some inexplicable reason, include wrestlers who did not make the tournament. When seeds come out later today I will update the projections.

Great job focusing on exactly the wrong thing. The President of the United States is doing a sales pitch on the lawn of the White House complete with prices and financing options because he is Musk's puppet. Between the two of them they incinerated $859 billion of Tesla's market cap and trillions of dollars of the US stock market cap. So Trump decides it is time to target helping the richest man in the world. If you look closely you can see the strings Musk is pulling to make Trump's mouth move. But Musk is a poor ventriloquist so I love Tesla comes out I love Tesler. Such a buffoon. Trump doesn't care about you. Trump holds you in contempt.

It is odd that the coaches are still ranking a whole bunch of wrestlers who did not qualify for the tournament, which means they also left a lot out. And the ranking list is not the same as the RPI list. What a mess.

First thing I noticed too

How about when he said, "I love Tesler"? Buffoon.

What I have learned so far this week is apparently Penn State, Iowa, and Ohio State are all in bad shape. By the end of the week I expect Oklahoma State, Nebraska, and Minnesota to join them.

Thanks, Obama

And to do it right you need the same data the NCAA used. It won't be released until tomorrow.

I don't think you have the QW quite right. You say whoever has the most wins gets 20. The doc lists the possible splits as 20/0, 15/5, or 10/10 (and it is a weighted sum rather than a straight sum). What are the criteria for applying one of those splits? The reason I think the subjective criteria applies to the seeding is that it includes conference champion. That would be a non-factor for the at-large pool. Now the other criteria may be used for the at-large pool, but the presence of Conference Champion suggests that, at a minimum, they is used for seeding. The subjective criteria are included in this version (the current version): https://ncaaorg.s3.amazonaws.com/championships/sports/wrestling/d1/men/2023-24D1MWR_SelectionsProcess.pdf

How appropriate that Trump is now literally a car salesman. Buffoonery taken to new heights. https://newrepublic.com/post/192623/donald-trump-elon-musk-tesla-commercial-white-house

Most of my jokes are math jokes. Not sure why no one finds me funny. On an unrelated note, why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7, 8, 9.

And don't forget the horse he rode in on.

He had a tough season at 12-12

There is definitely missing information in that document. Here is what I have learned and what I still guess at. I have asked around for clarification on some of this, but I don't always get it. See below in red

And this breaks with their precedence all season. When a lower ranked wrestler within striking distance, beat a higher ranked wrestler, they had the winning wrestler taking the ranking spot of the losing wrestler.

Harer's 13-11 record (54%) prior to the B1G mini-tournament had to hurt, as did his 2-3 finish.
