Interesting Allocation Notes

[regularfan]

At least I found them interesting. Hopefully others will as well.

- 7/10 weights stayed at the lowest 30 CR, 30 RPI, 70% to decide the weights
- 133 & 157 went to 29-29-71 and 184 went to 28-28-72
- 184 had 30 people who met the 29-29-71 criteria and went they went up to 28-28-72, two EIWA qualifiers no longer met the minimum and now that weight was only allocated 28 of a possible 29 spots and one extra went to at-large. Just interesting that two guys in the same conference basically being even cost the conference a spot.
- Max Lyon (184; Purdue) was the only Big 10 wrestler to hit the 30-30-70% minimum and have has slot get cut when the numbers had to shift
- 197 in the Southern Conference was the only one were no individuals met the criteria but they still got the automatic. All the other 1 bid conferences had a person qualify that spot.
- No Zahid Valencia in the rankings – I think I mentioned this in another thread but I would assume that ends the speculation and he really is done?
- 255/282 qualified individuals (not counting auto to the SoCon which figures the 283 total qualifiers) got their spot based on coaches rank and RPI and it did not matter what their win percentage was (even though I am sure many had all three)
- 20/282 used coaches rank and win percentage to qualify (did not have RPI that met slot they needed to hit): Spencer Lee, Jack Mueller, Sebastian Rivera, Zack Trampe, Max Murin, Grant Willits, Matt Kolodzik, Russell Rolhlfing, Tyler Esichens, Vincenzo Joseph, Grant Cuomo, Michael Kemmerer, Sam Colbray, Hayden Hastings, Aaron Brooks, Brit Wilson, Ben Darmstadt, Gable Stevenson, Seth Nevills, Colton McKiernan
- Only 7 wrestlers made it only on RPI and winning percentage (meaning they did not have a coaches rank that got them a slot: Brandon Kaylor (125, Oregon State, 25 RPI, 76.2%), Richie Koehler (133, Rider, 29 RPI, 71.4%), Parker Filius (141, Purdue, 25 RPI, 70.8%), Wilfredo Gil (141, F&M, 30 RPI, 78.1%), Hunter Richard (149, Cornell, 27 RPI, 70.0%), Clay Lautt (174, North Carolina, 20 RPI, 72.0%), Colt Doyle (184, Oregon State, 27 RPI, 72.7%)

We all saw the allocation numbers but here is what percentage of each conference will qualify automatically to the NCAA tournament

ACC: 35 allocations/60 entrants (6 teams x 10 weights) = 58.3%
Big Ten: 79/140 = 56.4%
Big 12: 54/120 = 45.0%
MAC: 41/150 = 27.3%
PAC 12: 16/60 = 26.7%
EIWA: 44/170 = 25.9%
SoCon: 14/80= 17.5%

Interesting forgot the total number of teams the MAC and EIWA have

Great breakdown. The sliding scale is always one of the most hard to foresee wrinkles every year.
