Is there a mistake at 174? No Mike Evans.
You aren't kidding! Glad this is how they determine # of bids!Originally posted by PrairieHawk1:
Wow, those RPI rankings are bizarre.
Using your numbers..........24-1 minus 7 and1 forfeit looks like 24-8=16.......... so 16-1Originally posted by buf87:
17 D1 matches, so not sure on Evans
WrestleStat has him 24-1 with 7 non D1 and 1 D1 forfeit that doesn't count, so that should be 17

I'm curious about this as well.Originally posted by rival_me:
so, the big 12 tourney isn't a qualifier this year, does this mean that they are solely at the mercy of the at-large selection committee?...
HA! I got four!Originally posted by Vallholl:
According to the RPI, Iowa has five #1 ranked wrestlers. I bet you only get three if you guess b4 you look.
Yep. But you'll notice there are more than 4 at-large bids held back at each weight class. Looks like they built what would have been the Big 12's allocations into the at-large pool.Originally posted by rival_me:

Iowa gets all 10 in including Kelly, even if he fumbles at Big Ten. He has been in top 15 all season long and so would get a bid.Originally posted by rossel 33:
Cautiously optimistic Kelly makes to the ncaa.
With 8 spots for B1G, gotta figure the first 3 are head and shoulders above the rest:
Martinez
Ness
Green
After that you have 4 guys Kelly could hang with and possibly beat:
Murphy
Welch
Demas
Alton
Then there is still #8 spot, and for that his only other ranked opponent is
Perotti
Additional unranked opponents inclued Md, IN, MSU
Well, I guess after 7 years of not cutting and pasting...............we shouldn't expect you to get it right next year either.Originally posted by JasonBryant:
RPI is a rating, not a ranking. It has nothing to do with "how good" someone is. I probably should have this on cut-and-paste around this time every year. No disrespect intended, but that's the same comment that's come up in the last 7 years.
