Very well said. I am of the same opinion which is why I took it upon myself to do this as a comparison of whatever one calls them - rankings or ratings or whatever. Another good example is Kemp of Cal Poly at 174 lbs. WS has him at # 27 yet the other three have him at either # 9 or # 10.

Arizona State is (IMO) in dire need of someone at 197 lbs and they have a PHD program in Urban Planning and they also have a graduate program in Urban and Environmental Planning: https://sgsup.asu.edu/degree/graduate/urban-and-environmental-planning-muep https://sgsup.asu.edu/degree/graduate/urban-planning-phd

FRIDAY - FEB. 9th Arizona State @ Cal Poly - 8 p.m. MT (7 p.m. PT) - Available on Flo Sports ($$$$) - Have to wonder why this isn't on the PAC 12 channels. SATURDAY - FEB. 10th Oregon State @ Wyoming (6 p.m. MT) - Available on Flo Sports ($$$$) SUNDAY - FEB. 11th Cal State Bakersfield vs. S.I.U.E. @ Little Rock - 8:30 a.m. PT (10:30 a.m. CT) - No television or Live Stats Cal State Bakersfield @ Little Rock - 10 a.m. PT (Noon CT) - No television or Live Stats Cal Poly @ Stanford - 11 a.m. PT - Televised on the PAC 12 Bay Area channel S.I.U.E. @ Little Rock - 1:30 PT CT - No television or Live Stats

The score of the heavyweight match was actually 5-2 Hill over Tinker. # 20 ranked Little Rock is now 4-1 in PAC 12 matches this season with only Cal State Bakersfield remaining on their PAC 12 wrestling schedule for this season.

The WrestleStat dual comparison has Arizona State beating Oregon State 19-14 and that's with Cody Foote at 141 lbs for ASU (not Jesse Vasquez - who is said to be returning to the ASU lineup). If Foote is replaced with Vasquez ASU still loses at 141 lbs but by decision and not by MD with Foote in the lineup, i.e., score being ASU 19 - OSU 13. https://www.wrestlestat.com/compare/dual/59/oregon-state/4/arizona-state This dual will be televised (oddly enough) on the PAC 12 Oregon channel (and not on the PAC 12 Arizona channel?).

Yeah, if my college was about to take on Penn State in wrestling I'd have an "upset" stomach as well. Try some Pepto Bismol.

You can "love" whatever you wish to............but a reading comprehension course would do you some good nonetheless.

You're right about that but when they began their wrestling program about 5 years ago the PAC 12 was desperate to find a sixth wrestling program and Little Rock accepted their offer to join the PAC 12.

You need to take a reading comprehension course. The question ABOUT LITTLE ROCK.

The question about Little Rock that I'd like to know is what happens to their very improved wrestling team after this season? With the implosion of the PAC 12 where do they go with their wrestling team?

How I see tomorrow's dual Little Rock @ Stanford: 125 - Reno vs. Provo - Provo by Dec - 0-3 Stanford 133 - Bailey vs. La Joie - Bailey by MD - 4-3 Little Rock 141 - Keck vs. Miranda - Miranda by Dec. - 4-6 Stanford 149 - Dutton vs Abas - Abas by Dec. - 4-9 Stanford 157 - Matt Bianchi vs Cardenas - Cardenas by Dec. - 4-12 Stanford 165 - Joseph Bianchi vs. Garvin - Bianchi by MD - 8-12 Stanford 174 - Abdon vs. Norman - Norman by MD - 8-16 Stanford 184 - Wills vs. Darrah - Wills by MD - 12-16 - Stanford 197 - Little vs Stemmet - Little by Dec. - 15-16 Stanford 285 - Hill vs Ming - Hill by Dec. - 18-16 Little Rock Again this dual will be on the PAC 12 Bay Area channel at 3 p.m. PT.

The Little Rock story on their upset win @ # 16 Oregon State yesterday: https://lrtrojans.com/news/2024/1/26/wrestling-little-rock-takes-out-16-oregon-state-moves-to-2-0-in-pac-12-competition.aspx

Final score of last night's dual between Little Rock and Oregon State was Little Rock 20 - Oregon State 17 (forgot to include that earlier here).

Next up for Little Rock @ Stanford scheduled for 3 p.m. PT on Sunday (4 p.m. MT - 5 p.m. CT). This dual will be televised on the PAC 12 Bay Area channel. If Little Rock wins this dual they will have swept all three of the actual PAC 12 wrestling teams this season. WrestleStat's dual comparison feature is projecting a Stanford win in this dual (21-10) but I see this dual as much closer. Two of the ten weight classes appear to me to be toss-ups (either team could win) and at one weight class (165) they have Stanford's Hunter Garvin winning by decision over Little Rock's Joseph Bianchi yet Bianchi beat Garvin by MD (9-1) on the first of this month.
