  1. Whether it is direct or indirect makes no difference if it is still influencing seeding. The facts of objective reality are that it does matter who you lose to for purpose of seeding. Who you beat is of greater emphasis under the current seeding criteria but to act that it does not matter who you lose to is to ignore that 5 of the 7 seeding criteria are affected (whether directly or indirectly maketh no difference to me) by losses.
  2. What claim would Whalen have? He does not even posses a top 20 win.
  3. Who you lose to is also factored into Head-to-head, results against common opponents, and coaches ranking. So in addition to two that you listed (RPI and win %), 5 of the 7 categories are affected to who you lose to.
  4. 125- Flynn dec Cruz 3-0 Minn 133- Ayala dec Wells 3-3 141- Vombaur mdec Schriever/Block 7-3 Minn 149- Parco mdec Roberts 7-7 157- Teemer dec Askey 10-7 Iowa 165- Caliendo dec Sparks 13-7 Iowa 174- Kennedy mdec Whiting 17-7 Iowa 184- McEnally dec Arnold 17-10 Iowa 197- Buchanan dec Salazar 20-10 Iowa 285- Steveson tf Kueter 20-15 Iowa
  5. Losses matter though. Lamer lost to Stiles. Whalen lost to Alvarez. Stiles lost to Willochell. Paniro may get a high seed if he wins out but he is the only one I would see possibly jumping a B1G guy (unless one of the three B1G guys finishes 4th or lower at B1G's). I suspect it will go Henson, B1G 1st, B1G 2nd, Paniro if he wins out, B1G 3rd, McNeil...
  6. I am having a hard time finding a scenario where Parco gets the top seed unless SVN drops a match. SVN's remaining schedule is D'Emilio (tOSU, Webster (Illinois) and Owen (American). Parco has Roberts (Minnesota), Cartella (NW) and Young (OSU). Lovett has Torres (Indiana) and Ruble (Purdue). Hard to see any of these guys dropping a match.
  7. Has a guy with a bum shoulder, I subscribe to this methodology
  8. With Parco and Teemer aren't they also technically "grad transfers"?
  9. Mekhi was lights out in that championship run. Obviously there is a much different skill set that is required to win a title at 125 vs 165 vs 285. Yes, it is all subjective. In my subjective mind, I see the Parris win as the best of the bunch.
  10. The difference in that scenario is that Gable beat a healthy Parris in '21. Parris was a wrecking ball that year with a 100% bonus rate (including over Kerk and Cassiopi) outside of his two matches with Gable.
  11. Remember that Parris dealt with that neck injury in '22. He was a runner up in '21 and (once healthy again and no Gable) an undefeated hodge trophy winner in '23.
  12. The Mason Paris wins (5 of them) are the best wins of the bunch.
  13. Against a nationally ranked opponent as well
  14. You don’t get to count Joey’s wins for Marcus. Marcus has enough of his own good wins lol
  15. Jake Varner would like a word
  16. McEnelly is really good at timing guys stepping and dropping in on the low single.
  17. I’ll give you Arnold but where else were Iowa wrestlers not wrestling?
  18. Shouldn’t this title be Silas Allred
  19. That was a sweet trip by Parco
  20. Honestly if Mendez was someone else he probably would have been hit for stalling again. Vombaur was much more active
  21. Salazaar Dec Shumate in SV Gable md Feldman McCrone md Flynn Davino Dec Wells in SV
  22. McCrone gets the 9-0 major over Cooper Flynn
  23. Mesenbrink doesn't look to have much of a physical advantage and he finds a way to melt everyone with his pace.
  24. I see Nebraska as strong favorites at 125, 141 and 157. Iowa as strong favorites at 133, 165, 197 and 285. 149, 174 and 184 could really go either way but I favor Iowa in all of them. Without the head to head match ups I would favor Ridge over Parco but at this point he's going to have to beat Parco before I would predict it.
