(Win Percentage is from Wrestlestat and 70% is usually considered the cutoff)
125 Kysen 26 CR, 22 in RPI, 62.5% Win %age
133 Frost 7 CR, 2 in RPI, 82.35% Win %age
141 Ech 9 CR, 9 in RPI, 78.95% Win %age
149 Swiderski 5 CR, 1 match short of having an RPI, 85.71% Win %age
157 Chittum 12 CR, 19 in RPI, 73.33% Win %age
165 Carr 2 CR, 4 in RPI, 94.74% Win %age
174 Gaitan 19 CR, 10 in RPI, 73.68% Win %age
184 Feldkamp 7 CR, 4 in RPI, 66.67% Win %age
197 Broderson NR CR, NR in RPI, 46.15% Win %age
285 Yonger 3 in CR, 1 in RPI, 100% Win %age

In Bold meets the allocation cut off. It is usually 26,26 and 70%
if you meet all 3, you are considered a gold and earn an allocation. If you meet 2 of 3, you are silver and earn an allocation. Bronze rarely earns a spot. They will adjust these numbers up or down to get about 26-28 allocations and save 5-7 for at large berths

Kysen is borderline. There are still other wrestlers that will become eligible for an RPI as the get more matches and probably drop Kysen down in RPI ranking.

Casey will be eligible for an RPI after the Missouri dual. Currently 12-2 in D1 matches according to Wrestlestat

I think 8 firmly in and Kysen is on the fringe. A Mizz win would be huge.

Should be 12-2 vs D1.

Should be 12-2 vs D1.

Yes, you are correct. 14 matches and needs 15

I’m surprised by Frosts RPI. What am I missing there?

Most top guys don’t have enough matches RPI.

Correct, no Vito, Fix, Crookham or Orine in RPI

Kysen maybe not even qualifying would be very disappointing.

Surely Kysen can place in the top 9 at Big 12s? Even as frustrated as we all are with him

 

[buf87]

141 must be Happel, Ech, Titus, & Jamison

Clay Carlson and Edmund will probably garner allocations too. I’m not sure why they were left out.

Clay Carlson and Edmund will probably garner allocations too. I’m not sure why they were left out.

Carlson Is 7-5 & Edmond is 8-6 according to Wrestlestat. They are both in low 20 in coaches ranking, but not in RPI or win %age

 

[cywr89]

No way Big 10 are getting 12. They have 9 solid ranked kids.

They might as well just draw those seedings in Kansas City out of a hat.

Edmund will get RPI. Both are ranked in top 24 with Edmund having potentially 4 more matches and Carlson 2. There are only 8 Big 10 guys ranked in top 24 with 11 in the top 30.

Agree. I saw the post above about Kysen not even qualifying and then the tweet about allocation projections. If he's not top nine BigXII something went very wrong... (please something don't go very wrong)

Edit: It's obvious but seeing the 9 at 125 is comforting with respect to Kysen qualifying. I hope those projections end up being close to reality.

Also top 6 for Broderson if he caught fire isn't impossible, that literally would mean he has to win maybe 2 matches.

Thanks Buf. Great stuff. Reminds me of what Judoka used to do back in the day. Whatever happened to him?

Love the positive mojo from the group this time of year. We are trending perfectly.

One crazy thought— If Penn State split their roster into two teams, would they go 1-2 at Nationals? Reminiscent of UCLA basketball in 60s and early 70s. Me thinks we have as good a chance of anyone for 2d.

I think he was on WRNL last right?
