Pins are worth more. So if you're dominant enough that you can get a pin, you will do it because it's incentivized.
As for Wyatt, he got 13 pins and 8 techs. Please show me which of his pins were not dominant.
A good argument can be made that Gable Steveson is the BEST wrestler in the NCAA. Should he have been a finalist, Bo? Or is the award, named for Dan Hodge, about something else?
I think Tagen can make the weight, I'm just not so sure he should. I previously thought Vega could go 133, but he is looking a little thicker as of late, which is not a bad thing
I assume WIN also does not include the All Star Classic?
That's interesting about including forfeits. I know Paddy clearly ducked MM, but I don't know what the circumstances were for the Mizzou and Binghamton forfeits.
to conclude your analysis with bonus point percentage is to give pins and major decisions equal weight. That's a silly thing to do when determining who is the most dominant.
Considering before the tournament, he said Carter would win the championship and not his own teammate who had a super close match with Carter, I would guess Steveson voted for Carter
Let's do Most Valuable Wrestler.
Wyatt averaged 5.15 points per match this season (no one else reached even 4.80), and scored the most in the NCAA tourney with 26.0 team points (next best was 24.0).
Congratulations to Mr. Hendrickson, on winning the inaugural MVW!
..it's surprising that the entire Flo Radio cast said it should go to Carter. I know it can't have anything to do with bias from needing access and relationships to PSU and NLWC, so it really is a funny coincidence
Kyle Dake just said he's wrestling through 2028, but is undecided on weight even for this year. He said he's heard UWW may be changing the rules around weigh-ins and that would affect what weight he chooses.
