Here is is my fundamental point. I don't want weaker teams getting in simply because they won their conference. Obviously that is not an issue with the B10 and SEC. If you go to 16 that won't be an issue with the B12 and ACC champ either. Where I have the issue are all the other conferences and this G5 requirement. Bogus. That is why it is cleaner in my mind instead of saying the conf champs from the Power 4 are auto qualifiers and no one else just say no one is an auto qualifier and they are all "invited" in.

College basketball is unique. If they went to just a 16 team format with no auto qualifiers it would end up being whatever your top 16 are today in the rankings or at the end of the season. That would be a terrible model to adopt for college basketball. I get that. College football is different. You can't have 68 teams or whatever it is. The # of playoff spots is limited or "precious". So you need to get to the top 16 in the country.

PS - of course there would be an exception to the rule, called the Anthony Robles exception, for inventory reasons.

I definitely dislike one knee in neutral position, but I am surprised there is not a lot of support for the fleeing the mat change. That one is so much more frequent and drives me nuts since in theory the rule is already in place, it's just the refs simply let it slide 95% of the time.

To be honest, outside of golf fanatics, I don’t think many people would recognize a golfer if they ran into them on the street.

Can you venture a guess why there is no transparency by the Big 10 on how the seeds are done. There is certainly a seeding committee and they sit down and evaluate everything. But what do they evaluate? Is more weight put on head to head competition or overall conference record or is it simply a vote by the coaches. And why all the secrecy? What is the possible value to the Big 10 and to wrestling in general by not being transparent?

Haha, I wish they would!!

In answer to the question from CantThink, it's as simple as Dice put it above, that the seeds are decided on a vote from the Big Ten coaches. Not very transparent though, as we won't see the voting. There really is no "criteria", so coaches (I doubt the voting is always done by each the head coach themselves) could simply look at the national rankings and pull out the B1G guys in their ranking order, or do it some other way. Doubt anyone is putting in much time, given how much work there is to do this time of year preparing for the postseason.

Maybe but with the proposed set up, there aren't going to be many games between the Big Ten/SEC and the ACC or Big 12. So you can end up having a highly ranked ACC team like Clemson or SMU that could even go undefeated without really playing anyone. They could end up competing for one of the byes.

You guys act like he was on his knee the entire match. As soon as the opponent makes contact, he's off his knee and in the tie up and that's where all his offense was. He outshot Plott like 6-0 and got to legs 3 times. He didn't back out of bounds.

For years, you all whined that "pushing isn't offense" and you were right. Plott had plenty of opportunities to try to score and just wasn't able because Angelo was better.
