Based on the seeding criteria, you may be right, as Kerk will have the coaches ranking (15%), but an undefeated Big 12 champ could have the quality wins (20%). Not sure about RPI though (10%). But I know they are able to override the formula sometimes.
-
174 is a little more top heavy to me. I’d be surprised if Arnold got higher than 4th at 174, I would not be surprised if he makes the finals at 184. I do think Kennedy 174/Arnold 184 is their best tournament team, but I don’t get paid the big bucks.
-
Maybe we can save our seniors some money by cancelling their cable and having them sign up for Fubo or something + one month of FloFootball
-
Yeah just tried to check and looks like 1989 was the last time, ironically Tom Brands freshman year and Iowa only took 6th
-
If Plott majors him, I can almost guarantee he stays in redshirt. He likely stays in redshirt if he loses at all. Even if he wins, he might stay in redshirt, but I’d guess he goes if he beats Plott.
-
I think he burns the shirt if he beats Plott. If he does, then while it’s not guaranteed, he’d have a good shot at placing top 4.
-
Well earlier in the year he publicly stated that answer was no. But he may have changed his mind of course…
-
I think this is pretty much the same as the Hidlay thread. “People aren’t talking about” them potentially winning the Hodge, because they are huge underdogs to even win their weight, which is a prerequisite for winning the Hodge
-
That’s different than the OP though, which seems to be complaining about “Hodge rankings” which shouldn’t factor in their likelihood of finishing the season undefeated. My earlier comment was if those are Flo’s Hodge rankings, they may be considering the All-Star as a loss for Hendrickson
-
So it’s not free for you
-
Are you really just saying he “doesn’t have a snowflake’s chance in hell” of beating Kerk? I’d give him a “snowflake’s chance” of doing that. Which if so, would give him a slightly bigger (but still small, due to the presence of Brooks & Kerk) chance of winning the Hodge
-
Was it free or only free if you had cable?
-
Yeah and on the 1000th episode Pyle also reiterated how mad he was at Askren for doing that. I’m confident Pyle was not in on it
-
I believe Flo includes the All-Star in their rankings, no?
-
When Rathjen got the second takedown, was Bono still yelling about the earlier call or was he mad about something else?
-
Same thing IMO. I think they consider all matches against B10 competition. Could be wrong though. I would imagine they may even consider matches against non-B10 competition if there’s a tie or something and there are common opponents
-
While I think they’ll consider CKLV matches (which @bracketbuster seems to agree with based on the 125 records), they will likely give more importance to duals where Van Dee beat Teske. However that probably only matters if Teske is Iowa’s entrant
-
I don’t think they ignore CKLV matches against other B10 guys. But even if you count the Smith/Ramos match, Ramos still has the best resume and Smith is still in that 4-8 range.

Why Penn State Won't Win The NCAA Tournament
1032004 replied to PortaJohn's topic in College Wrestling
The talk of them breaking the scoring record died down after Van Ness got injured, IMO -
Where do you think Teske and Arnold would be seeded if they are Iowa’s entrants at 133 and 184?
-
FRL mentioned Cassioppi and Assad participated in senior day activities but Brands did not. Maybe he’s back next year?
-
They’ve been about the same, especially when you consider 30% of what was supposed to be their starting lineup is suspended. Seems like they’re being punished because they didn’t stink like OSU did the past couple years.
-
I’m still confused why people keep simultaneously saying “OSU has been great” and “Iowa needs a change” when they’re currently projected to finish similarly at NCAA’s and I’d pick Iowa to win the dual…
-
Doesn’t Yianni sell a shirt with a similar saying? That shirt isn’t as bad as the uncle or whoever that other dude was in those Iowa recruiting visit photos
-
But are you sure he actually said that and wasn’t just misquoted by a reporter like you claimed when Smith was talking about Fix not wrestling Crookham?
