It might be different for this. No reason hardy shouldn't be highest ranked B1g wrestler. Need to reward wrestling. Psu is killing the sport not wrestling the way it is
I think the #1 criteria is conference tournament then hvh. Hopefully the committee doesn't devalue conference tournament results we see teams not wrestling a schedule at all.

Going out of bounds is a gray area. So if someone is shot out of bounds repeatedly, or does the splits and touching out of bounds not stalling? But just pushing on someone is?? Doesn't add up
It appears officials are now just using freestyle rules and saying if you push a guy out it's a stalling warning, however if you shoot a guy off actually attempting a move that's nothing. Several illinois wrestlers are just pushing guys out of bounds, it's gross.
That was a wild sequence! I think they were reveiewing an illegal move. Idk whose decision it was to not let him continue. Concussion protical they usually take them off the mat?

157 kassak vs teamer
165 W
174 Haines vs karson k
184 W
197 barr vs Ferrari
285 w
That's just quarters.... all of those are hardly gimmes
Theres only 1 lock finalists for Penn state. Maybe Kirk too. The rest will have tough draws. Nebraska really closed the gap. Now add the Big 12 which is better this year to steal points from psu. It'll be much closer than people think
Another bombshell in the 174 bracket at ncaas
Penn state quarterfinals will determine ncaas. Everyone besides Carter, kerk, kassak, and Haines will have huge matches that they won't be favored in half of them
Look at B1gs the field will only be deeper at ncaas. You think Haines is head and shoulders over hamiti, karson h about beat Haines too.. he's not untouchable.
Let's revisit this when brackets come out. Alot left to happen. Carter taking an L in the finals. Alvarez landing on the same side has beau, otoole landing same side as haines, fearrii landing on same side as barr. All of those being possible quarter final matches.....
