Was 2015 Edinboro the Most Overachieving Team of All-Time?


Recommended Posts

Going into the 2015 tournament Edinboro was expected to score about 34 placement and advancement points based on their seeds. They actually scored 60.5 (75.5 with bonus added in).

Their projected finish was 14th based on their seeds. Their actual finish was 3rd.

And they did it with only 6 wrestlers.

My detailed data only goes back to 2010. Was there a more overachieving team prior to 2010?

Yes, the '97 Hawkeyes who were projected to place 2nd at the tourney and went on to score a record 170 points

Back of envelope, the 1997 Hawkeyes went in as 10.5 point dogs, and won by 56.5. 

A 67 point swing. Yowza.

Perhaps for individual over achievement, but Oklahoma finished 18th with 29.5. 

Brewer scored 25, the other 4 wrestlers scored 4.5.

And what was their team projection based on seed?
