What's this?

That is what makes wrestling unique.


There are individual rankings, dual rankings. and tournament rankings. Closely ranked dual teams does not mean the higher ranked team will always win -- the way these things are scored it comes down to individual match ups and bonus points. One fluke move at a weight can add 6 pts to your team score, which is worth two decisions at other weights.

Wrestling requires you to look beyond scores and evaluate individual performance and trends leading up to the NCCAT. IMO we do have holes in the line-up and that was expected. Also, there are a couple of weights that are not living up to expectations at this time - but there are several weights that we have seen strong improvements, that I believe will show up at NCAAT. I will add that IMO the ACCT is stupid and really is hard to predict and is hard to evaluate since we only have 6 teams (the brackets are always dicey)

  I’m a huge Hokie fan but this team appears vastly overrated to be #7 or 8 -- hokiepro 02/18/2022 9:59PM

  Lol. at least you're consistent ** -- Pylons 02/18/2022 10:19PM
  I mean we lost 40% of the matches and the extra matches too -- hokiepro 02/18/2022 11:00PM
  Penn State doesn’t have top 20 guys at every weight ** -- TartanHokie 02/19/2022 08:27AM
  Extra matches are meaningless with respect to our ranking -- Pylons 02/18/2022 11:14PM
  9 of 10 guys are ranked. Most teams would kill to have those stats ** -- emhokie 02/18/2022 11:06PM
  We are more like "most teams" in football and basketball but are supposed -- VTCALS72 02/19/2022 08:27AM
  This analysis is just wrong. ** -- Hokie Flyer 02/19/2022 08:48AM
  Do you really see a top 10 finish or an ACC win with this team? -- VTCALS72 02/19/2022 11:56AM
  Winning the ACCT isn't really relevant to 2nd/3rd tier -- Pylons 02/19/2022 8:47PM
