Final 2022 Team Projections Based on Individual Rankings

Recommended Posts

Now that Intermat, Flo, and Wrestlestat have each updated their rankings to include results at the Collegiate Duals I have updated the team projections.

Reminder:

  • I treat rankings like they are seed projections
  • Then based on average results by seed for the past 12 tournaments (2010 - 2022) I calculate an expected points total
  • Expected points only takes into account the advancement and placement points - no bonus points
  • Expected points differs from maximum points scoreable because not every wrestler finishes at their seed. For example, #1 seeds only win 98.33% of the time.
  • All American probability takes into account the same phenomena. For example, #8 seeds only finish in the top eight 50% of the time. So a #8 seed counts as half an AA. And seeds below #8 also count as a fraction of an AA.
  • Said another way, with a 5.5 AA probability for PSU per Intermat there is a 50% chance they end with 5 AA's and a 50% chance they end with 6 AA's.

Final 2022 Team Projections

So are you saying if the 2023 NCAA tournament were held this Thr/Fri/Sat maybe Penn St has a chance?   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You are looking at it all wrong.

Over the course of two months Iowa State has improved their total by 26 points while Penn State has added a measly 6.57, for a 19.43 net point gain for ISU. Right now ISU trails PSU by 38.3 points. So, ISU only needs four more months to pass PSU. If ISU can conspire to delay the 2023 NCAA tournament to April 27 then they will 100% be champions. It's just math.

ahh ... got it ... maybe the Iowa State University Department of Geological and Atmospheric Sciences can whip up a minny climate change event to delay the tournament by ~1.5 months. 🤔

But also, you aren't going to bore us with any more 2022 projections, correct?  😉

Don't project your insecurities on me.
