Yeah, WIN is good and is one of the few (maybe the only one) that actually has a formula. Wrestlesat also has point value. This article still doesn't address that there are actually 4 criteria. The website for the award and the NCAA have the same exact verbage of there being 7 criteria. At the end of the day, those who vote are going to make their 1st- 2nd-3rd place votes on who they feel best represents the 7 criteria - each voter will have bias and an emphasis in their own mind of why a wrestler gets their 1st - 2nd - 3rd place vote....like the Heisman...which should have been won by Jeanty.

Voters don’t simply put a name next to each of the 7 criteria and whoever has wins the most criteria get their vote They give placements like the Heisman. “The winner of the Hodge Trophy is determined based on a voting process that includes previous Hodge members, national media members, retired college coaches from each region of the United States, and a representative of the national wrestling organizations in the country. Fans also have a chance to vote for the Hodge winner, and the athlete with the most fan votes will receive two first-place votes in the count. Voting is typically conducted after the conclusion of the NCAA tournament, and the winner is announced in April.”

Where do you find the 4 criteria? The ncaa site and the Dan Hodge site state there are 7 criteria.

I'M AN ALL-AMERICAN!!!

WAY TO GO IDAHO!!!

LOL... yeah.

Hardy went on a two year church mission so he didn't wrestle for two years ......Gable went on a two year professional sports mission.

You don't see a program and their feeder school both on the hot seat very often.

Obviously the good choice to go with Kennedy over Brands for the post-season. Glad Kennedy final made it - he has been loyal and a dawg for Iowa.

Hardy looking tough with the crazy pin... Mendez on a mission.

Iowa may need a new feeder program. THe calls for Figs may quiet.

Is Iowa still calling for Figs?

Steveson happened.

Undefeated in round 1... Nice job by me @nhs67 Round 1 Contender - Round 2 Pretender.

I'd rather watch a live match with no clock than a spinning circle on Flo.

Correct... Brennan had surgery in 2021, therefore not competing that year that was free. At the beginning of this fiasco. LR fans were claiming he had a medical redshirt for 2021 giving him the extra year. However, the NCAA didn't give any due to 2021 being a free year. Med years have to be granted and signed off by the NCAA. Why LR thought they had a med year with no sign off from the NCAA is a mystery. Why they would go to the conference twice and the conference saying he was good, twice is yet another mystery. Somebody needs to do a nice Scooby Doo pull off the mask meme.

Oregon State declared Pac-12 champs. LR lost Brennan's points at the Pac12 giving the Beavers the team title, however they did not give Murphy Menke the Pac12 champion NCAA birth.

Brockman gets mauled and pinned.

But PSU is supposed to drop and it's supposed to be closer than we all think.

I'm good with my team you picked - Thanks for doing that!

The NCAA

Schultz is more comparable to Coon.

I like session 1… all my guys are still on the championship side.

Because he still has issues and concerns about how rules are enforced, followed or changed Doug Schwab @schwabwrestling Mar 13 I have had a lot of questions surrounding the first day weigh ins at the Big 12 tournament. I certainly have many thoughts, concerns and ideas moving forward for how the rules can be better enforced, followed or changed. As of right now my focus, time and energy stays solely on my team and the 35 men getting ready for the NCAAs next week. I am looking forward to hearing a statement from the Big 12 to provide some clarity and understanding, as we all deserve transparency. I look forward to being part of the solution to continue to move our great sport forward.
