  1. He wrestled the day before they wrestled UNI, winning by fall. He also wrestled 6 days after they wrestled UNI, also winning by fall.
  2. Willie is fired up on Twitter about it.
  3. Maybe but that’s a different conversation. That’s where the subjective aspect of rankings comes in
  4. Why shouldn’t ranking also have a conference championship bias? It’s the second most important tournament of the year. But you kinda seem to be disregarding tournaments in general. If the resumes were exactly the same and we’re just talking about CKLV and not the conference, the guy that won the tournament would have a good argument to be ranked higher than the guy that got 3rd, even if they didn’t wrestle.
  5. I’m not a big college football fan, but I found the main example I was probably thinking of (there may be others). But it technically didn’t involve the conference championship. 2017-2018. 9-2 Auburn, ranked #6 at the time, beats 11-0 and #1 Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Auburn jumps up to #2 in the CFP rankings, and Alabama dropped to #5. (So pretty comparable to Lilledahl/Ramos). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017–18_College_Football_Playoff
  6. I like the commentary because sometimes I will have wrestling on while doing something else and not paying 100% attention to the action. Guys like Rock who get excited when something is interesting is happening is helpful to me so I can know when I should pay closer attention. For the same reason I’m not a fan of when they just show the matches with no commentating. But yes it’s obviously better than not being able to see it at all.
  7. I forgot the main can of worms it would open would be with the Ivy League since they did not compete in 2021…
  8. 100% yes, if he beat Starocci at the all-star he would be ranked (and thus seeded) higher than him. But pretty sure most (maybe all, definitely Flo which lets you see the old versions) ranking services had Starocci higher even before the All-Star, and we know a lot of coaches use the ranking services as a guide; so wrestling the All-Star did not hurt Keckeisen
  9. What do you mean “wins”? If we’re talking seeding, McEnelly has winning % and Plott has RPI which cancel each other out. H2H and common opponents are N/A, and conference finish is equal. Looks like McEnelly has coaches rank (barely), but I assume your question is why is that, but nonetheless, seeding would still come down to quality wins regardless
  10. The only metric it really affects is coaches rank, who often copy the ranking services. But wasn’t Starocci ranked higher by most (maybe all?) services before the All Star anyway?
  11. Brennan in
  12. Teemer/Shapiro is interesting
  13. Lilledahl and Hardy get “rewarded” by both having national champs on their side of the bracket
  14. Yeah this wouldn’t even really open that much can of worms. It basically would only apply to people that redshirted during the “free year,” which was very few people…because it was a free year.
  15. I’d have to imagine Little Rock did something to check his eligibility earlier in the year, no? He never even qualified for NCAA’s before this year. I say let him wrestle. It’s a good argument against the people saying “the 6th year guys never seem to pan out”…
  16. I forget which interview it was in but I’m pretty sure he recently said he thought he should still have three more years..
  17. I feel like we need to define “inaccurate” here.” I’m confident Air Force (and maybe Utah Valley in the case of Belton) was told their wrestler was receiving a forfeit. Was it “official”? Maybe not, or maybe it was and then it was reversed.
  18. Not sure I agree with this. Don’t they often talk in college football about how early season losses matter less than late season losses? If the #1 team was 9-0 and lost to the #4 team that was 7-2 in the conference championship, wouldn’t the team that won the conference championship be ranked higher afterwards?
  19. Call stalling on who? Technically, it should be stalling on the wrestler that is pushing, but that doesn’t usually seem to be how it’s called (but it can be hard to tell sometimes)
  20. Did they talk about how underwear was altered at B12 and by who? Was that Belton if Jamison’s alleged transgression was riding/sitting on a bike?
  21. They were definitely having fun when they won the team title. I enjoyed the Good Murin America series
  22. There was a separate thread also, but not too much additional. I don’t think most people actually thought they should have been DQ’d
  23. They let a spectator in the weigh in area?
