Kollin Moore's Ranking
- Thread starter PerryLion1997
- Start date
I can remember years ago SCHS wrestled at a nearby rival school. The gym was very hot and we all thought it was done on purpose. I believe future PSU wrestler Davey Weber lost that night because of the heat (to another future PSU wrestler).
Just for you, LemonPie
...February 9 - Initial Full RPI and 2nd Coaches Ranking
February 23 - 2nd Full RPI, 3rd Coaches Ranking, and the Auto-Qualifier Allotments
March 9 - 3rd RPI, 4th Coaches Ranking, (both recalculated and used to determine Bronze Standard) and the Brackets are announced live
Before any misunderstandings about the RPI, it's math, nothing more. Sort of a strength-of-schedule metric...it's not a ranking by any stretch...and 17 bouts in your championship weight class are required, so some wrestlers will be missing.
Well psu football didn’t make the playoff in 2016 because they lost twice early. That certainly would seem to be a sport where the ranking is based on body of work.
Just count the appropriate
bouts - 1, 2, 3...
until you arrive at 17.
Good question seeyajohn.
Joining you, waiting for
the feedback on why 17.
Guessing it's not related to
the metric system.

Just a few guesses...as I honestly don't know for sure.
The number of allowed Competition Dates, for both a Team AND an Individual, is 16. 17 suggests a wrestler goes at most of the Competition Dates, plus at least one tournament during the regular season.
I don't believe there is statistical justification for "17", though there is a point where the confidence that it is a meaningful metric, based on too-few matches, does enter the picture. My gut tells me that 10 to 12 (or in that range) isn't enough, but there's nothing magical about the math at 17.
You are failing to think like an Iowa guy. Of course it affects Ohio State differently than Penn State.
That dates you Lorenzo! Of course your moniker does a bit as well. Rich is a great guy and a great coach!
I assume you were referring to the SCAHS team that had Knapp, Fedon, Struble, Scannell, Weber, young Koll and Pifer in the line up
Haha yet many people argue with me that it should be based on past work. I'm glad someone agrees!
No--it goes back before that. It was Dave Weber's and Dave Joyner's Sr year of HS at SCHS--before older Koll was on the team (1967).
I'm afraid I don't know that name--must have been before my time! There are limits to how far back I go!
Went to SCAHS with 5 of those guys [1 in same class, 2 were 1 class older]. Scannell & Knapp I believe were a couple yrs older? Don't recall the other 2 being in the same line-up at that time?? Eric Brugal was a Sr when I was Fr [but Fr were in the Jr Highs in those days].
I agree with Moore retaining his number 1 ranking. There is only one guy who can possibly make an argument for displacing Moore and has 2 losses, including one to a backup. The true rankings at the end of the year will be earned not subjectively given.
Now in a lighter take on it. Moore does wrestle for Ohio State and the last time I looked Ohio State is in the Alabama grouping. That is the special group that dictates 1 or 2 losses don't really count, unless it makes a difference to one of the other Alabama group.

So you're saying that, in football for example, late season wins should count more heavily than early wins for the purpose of determining a B1G Champion?
Personally, I don't care about football. Football has so few games compared to matches in wrestling. Football is a team sport. Wrestling can be individual as well and conference champs after determined differently.
