35 total. More than I was expecting. It bodes pretty well for us overall, especially at 174, 133, and 285. With these numbers, it’s very possible that we could have 9 qualifiers. I don’t think Stan will make it, but the rest of the team should. The big thing here is Duke is so bad this year that with the exception of 174, they don’t have a single real D1 starter in the lineup. So you could really say that each weight class is out of 5 guys. So in 133, 157 and 285, if you weigh in, you qualify for the dance.

Also to gain an auto qualifier spot for the conference you must have 2 of the three:
Ranked in coaches poll
Ranked in RPI (win %, strength of sched, opp strength of sched)
>70% win percentage AGAINST D1 COMPETITION

These also factor into at large births after conference tournaments

***coaches and RPI rankings included as well as win%***
125-3 16/19 61% (Prata is likely the 4 seed and should get an at large berth if he doesn’t finish top 3)
133-5 24/25 59% (Gerardi could be a 4/5 seed, but shouldn’t have any trouble)
141-3 17/11 71% (Mitch could be 1-3 seed, but he should be ok)
149-2 25/23 76% (Bryce should be a finalist)
157-5 20/24 63% (Depends on how BC finishes matches, but he will definitely be top 5)
165-4 7/4 83% (DMF could finish 1st he could finish 4th but either way he qualifies)
174-4 32/Unranked 55% (Cody should be 4 seed but as long as he wrestles tough, he should end his career in Minneapolis)
184-3 2/1 92% (There’s only 3 real wrestlers at this weight. Bolen easily gets in)
197-1 Unranked/unranked 50% (With Aiello, Stout and possibly Reenan wrestling at the tournament, I don’t see how Stan qualifies)
285-5 23/20 69% (Borsty shouldn’t have any trouble winning at least one match. Will Duke even send someone?)

By conference:
Big 10: 79/140=56.42%
Big 12: 54/120=45%
ACC: 35/60=58.33%
EIWA: 42/170=24.71%
MAC: 39/150=26%
PAC12: 15/60=25%
SOCON: 14/80=17.5%
