Yet you provide all this brilliant data on PAPER of how the scoring is going to go, ya know, in the future. Because we have plenty of guys who currently, on PAPER are going to end that narrative because of their current ranking, which is subject to change, good or bad as the season unfolds. Ending the Title drought may well happen and I certainly hope it does, far more than you I assure you. But it won't if they don't collectively wrestle well when it matters, which doesn't occur, on Paper.
And somehow a program that has been winning titles every year and keeps recruiting Top Ten athletes every year is regressing to the point our collection of previously known mid to low AA's is going to take them out (they're going up against the same field that we are). You apparently are assuming that all or most of our guys are going to finish equal to or better than they have previously, which will have to be proven, on a wrestling mat.
I'm also making assumptions, based on previous performances at NCAA's where we aren't in the conversation on Saturday Night. This Team MIGHT change all that, we shall see. Show me.
When Iowa set the scoring record at the UNI Dome, Oklahoma State was the prohibitive favorite, the Paper Tiger, and Iowa demolished them and everyone else on the mat. We don't have to demolish Penn State, we only have to win by one, but the actual wrestling will determine that, not seeds or rankings or anything else on Paper.
