I think MJ can do it depending on his backside matchups. If I am a coach for 74 lber outside of the big dogs like O'Toole etc., my wrestler seeing him (and whatever you call what he does) with little time to prep or watch film for it would be absolutely terrifying.
NCAA WR: At-Large (Tues.) and Brackets (Wed.)

Because the committee just showed they put much more value on conference tournaments than any duals or in-season tourneys.
A few weeks ago I was hoping for 3, now I’m with you. Hoping for 2 but that will be tough.
The draws are rough and Big 12’s didn’t leave fans with a bunch of confidence.
I suppose because RPI and Coaches ranking still make up a part of the formula. I think @theshadow said they are not updated after the qualifying tournament. Think Peanut had a low RPI
Do they also use this formula for seeding?
how the selection criteria is weighted:
Head-to-Head Competition = 25%
• Quality Wins = 20%
• Conference tournament placement = 15%
• Coaches Rank = 10%
• Results vs. common opponents = 10%
• Win percentage = 10%
• RPI = 10%
Who are you referring to? The only example I saw discussed was Alirez and I think like someone else said his in season resume was weak combined with a bad tournament.
A good or bad conference tournament was a pretty strong point of emphasis across all the brackets, I thought
He should have just transferred to Okie State last night, they would have gotten him in.
bump. Any insight? Wouldn't it be a much cleaner/easier tourney to just drop one at-large and have a 32 bracket?
Isaac Trumble getting 6th at ACC’s but getting the 7 seed in Philly is one example.
They have an alternate for a reason. Whenever someone backs out, they just bump up the seeds and the alternate takes the 33 seed. So, in this scenario, the Little Rock kid is 29th seed, so 30->29, 31->30, 32->31, 33->32, and then the alternate to 33. Really doesn't impact much in this scenario
The total number of qualifiers has been 330 for about 20 years or so. However, it wasn't until 2009 that the NCAA leveled each weight class at 33 qualifiers when the overall allocation process was changed to be based on current-year data instead of the old 5-year rolling average.
Before 2009, the conferences could decide how to allocate their total number of qualifiers. For example, when the Big 12 had 36 qualifiers, the understanding was that the top 3 at each weight (30) would advance, with 6 at-larges spread across any weight. So, once all the conferences did their thing, you could end up with an NCAA bracket of 28 at one weight, and 37 at another.
In addition to equaling out each weight class, I don't think anyone in charge is in favor of eliminating 10 national qualifiers just to clean up the brackets.
I am confused what it is you're saying now. I thought you were saying there was too much weight on conference tournaments and not enough on regular season? This would seem to be the opposite case.
Just ran through my brackets and have both Evan and Paniro placing.
I have Evan beating Bailey in the quarters but losing to Ayala in the semis. Loses to McGonagle in consi semis then takes fifth over Romney.
Jacob Frost losing in the blood round to Vombauer which is the worst possible blood round matchup.
Paniro loses to Parco in the quarters. Beats Fernandez in the blood round to place. Then beats Williams, loses to Van Ness in consi semis then loses to McNeil to get 6th.
Bockman and Chittum go 2-2. MJ and Herrera each get 1 win. Riggins 0-2.

I am just saying it is very inconsistent.
Rewarded some guys for the conference tourney but didn’t punish others for it.
