What could psu have done better to help starocci win the hodge?
if they scheduled a tougher early season opponent like okst, or uni, or Iowa state carter would potentially have another bonus win over top 5ish competition.
What if they scheduled a tough opponent late in the season instead of American. What if they didn’t have such a weak early season schedule.

Second question. If they went to a real Xmas tourney like Cklv/scuffle/midlands he would have 5 ish more chances at getting bonus point victory against higher quality competition.
what if carter was 35 and 0 with 8 more bonus victories. That would have upped all his stats and made this closer race tip more in his favor. That would bump his bonus % above Wyatt and likely help with strength of schedule. It may also make mm look better but I suspect psu fans would prefer mm to have won over Wyatt.
