2022 NCAA Seeds Discussion

So, Kem has losses to CStar and Labriola plus the MFF out of B1Gs and he gets the 2? Interesting.

Iowa fans understand ADS got a favorable draw despite the seeding number. They think he can beat RBY but not Fix.

He’s not beating neither one. If RBY gets more offensive he can major DeSanto.

Nevermind. He is 5. My mistake.

Hasn't philippi beaten desanto in the past?

I don’t think RBY gets more offensive vs ADS. His formula hasn’t changed and until ADS changes, why?

I’m just telling you their misguided visions on HR.

I love the optimism, but I’ll take the under on that. Think it will be very close again, just win baby!

Agree. I’ve seen every match just think RBY can wrestle his match but still widen the gap. I get your point tho.

I already said above that I made a mistake at 184 relying on Mineo’s tweet from earlier. If you look at Berge‘s path assuming he loses to Carr, his most likely opponent in the blood round to AA is Austin O’Connor, the 2020 Nat’l Champ at 157. That’s rough and the 16 seems so hard to justify when Young is 9 and Berge beat him twice 2 weeks earlier. Finally, not to be a complete Debbie downer, but Hildebrandt I think is in trouble with likely matchups, will get Schroeder or McKee in his 2nd consi match, if it’s McKee, that has been Hildebrandt’s kryptonite. I think Penn State did not catch alot of breaks this year. I still think we will win, but do believe our point scoring is going to be VERY top heavy with our big 6.

Need a ton of bonus points from our better guys. Guys in the wrestle backs are going to be Huge.

I don’t think Kem makes it to the finals. I firmly believe his shoulder is injured.

Umm ... Arujau, Glory, and Deakin aren't "lesser opponents."

Ummm. Yes they are. Maybe deacon is a step below but clearly they are.

They've wrestled once, at last year's nationals. 13-5 DeSanto.

Philippi has beaten Fix I believe.

I hope not, that means he will have beaten CStar. The blueprint for beating Kemerer given his bum shoulder has been laid out. He can really only hope to use his incredible defense to score defensive takedowns. He is limited to one side attacks with his good arm...if he gets extended at all, he's in big trouble. I think he loses to Hidlay in the quarters.

Don’t like 184 seeding seems unfair

brooks beat amine solidly at duals
Brooks defending champ at the weight
Amine beat brooks in SV

imho brooks 1 amine 2

but I am wearing blue not yellow

I wouldn't say "solidly"...Brooks got an escape in the 3rd period with a minute and a half left to tie the match 1-1 and then spent :45 fending off an Amine shot to get the takedown with :20 left to win 3-1. Both matches were very close. I happen to think Brooks gets him at NCAA's...I think he likely learned a valuable lesson in the B10 finals. Amine is a tough customer.

Any time guys meet multiple times, the postseason result will count more. Brooks would've been the 1 had he lost the dual and won B10s.

It goes directly to the Coaches Rank and Conference Placement components of the seeding criteria.

Magnitude of victory is completely irrelevant to the scoring system (which I think is a giant hole in the process). Does not matter if Brooks won by rideouts or by fall.
