Idaho Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I believe these rankings were sent in before matches that happened that would have changed them (i.e. Ramos over Ayala). As mentioned, because of results, number of matches, etc. the first two are usually way off. Sponsored by INTERMAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdalu75 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Penn State wrestled Michigan State yesterday. WrestleStat shows Starocci at 6-0, Truax at 7-1, Brooks at 8-0, and Kerkvliet at 7-0. Eight matches at weight are needed for a CP ranking, so it appears that Truax and Brooks qualify. So it appears that the coaches didn't vote on rankings in the middle of the night, and Sunday's results (at least) weren't counted. In previous years the rankings were released on Thursdays; I was surprised to see them this morning. There's a chance we see revised rankings later in the week.

Wrestleknownothing Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 You must be new around here. This is a @Jimmy Cinnabon specialty. He won't post in someone else's thread. He always has to start his own thread even when there is one that already exists. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Career-wise maybe, but strictly this year, up to this point, Cael certainly would not warrant the #1 spot. They started the year projected to annihilate the field, but injuries and lackluster performances in a light schedule with a steadily shrinking projected points doesn’t scream coach of the year. There are several other coaches who appear to be doing much better with less talent. Seems like A-LR, Navy, OkSt, and a few others are exceeding expectations rather than diminishing them.

They do count for seeding, so yes they matter. But I don’t understand why they won’t just use one of the services or at least aggregate them. I may be misremembering, but wasn’t there something last year where a coach left RBY off the rankings even though he was eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story from the NCAA was that they were using an old list, or some such. There was someone else who was also affected, though I don't recal who. It really illustrated that the coaches do not place as high a priority about getting it right for other teams as they do for their own. Which is also an argument for you suggestion of using Intermat, Flo, etc. Drowning in data, but thirsting for knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
