He looks very legit. I was somewhat joking. But it’s very obvious why he’s not ranked higher. He hasn’t beaten anyone above him.
100%
Nice for Cody to get that win and shoot up the rankings closer to where he belongs.
I hear what you're saying but I like the fact that someone (like David Carr) can earn his way based upon his season on work. Imagine if he came down with the flu and losses his opportunity to even go to nationals. Today's rules protect against that. I understand that some will have serious injuries and won't recover by nationals but they have earned a chance IMO. I also like that it counts as a loss and effects their seed at nationals.
Something’s gotta change. There’s a lot screwed up with college wrestling that goes even beyond this mess. But the personalities and egos involved are never going to agree to anything which really sucks.
Not to state the obvious here, but man the bloodround in march is going to be absolutely huge in determining whether we are a top 5 team or 10-15 team. Half of our team ranked in the 7-12 range!
I wouldn’t read too much into the 141 - 157 rankings. ISU wrestlers could all be wrestling in the lime light on Friday night.
I remember quarters always going poorly for Iowa State during the Cael years, but we always had (what seemed to be) at least half our lineup wrestling in the quarters. This could be the first year since Cael where we have 5-6 guys going in the quarters. Friday morning could be the biggest round as far as being a top 5 team vs Friday nights blood round
