Along with a quick preview of the weekend's tournament...

Kind of puts a sting in PSU bonus point tally for first round.
Zain & Nevills appear to be only chance for PSU bonus in first round. (Assuming Suriano ankle is still questionable & may default)
Gulibon, Nolf, Joseph, Hall, Nickal & Cutch don't wrestle until afternoon.
That's 7-8 missed bonus points

That is BS....Oh well....He will be alright no matter what seed or placement....
Notice our main bonus guys get bye's....Can't rack up a lot of bonus....Oh well we have to do major damage in the 2nd and 3rd rounds....
You beat me to it. Thats what I was thinking sitting here looking at it.
If i have the consi bracket right, Law has a chance to win his 1st consi against NU then if he guts out another win.....
Depends on the number of wrestlers seeded at that weight, which in turn depends on the number of NCAA automatic qualifier bids allocated to that weight.
The 5 weights with 9 or more auto qualifiers seed all 14 wrestlers and the 1 and 2 seeds gets byes. The other 5 weights with 8 or fewer automatic qualifiers seed the top 8 and the byes are random draws.
4 of Penn St byes, Gulibon, Nolf, Hall, and Nickal, were auto because they had the 1 or 2 seed at a weight that had 9 AQ's. No way around those. The other 2 were random draws
right he more than likely loses but still keeps him alive for 9...a girl can dream
As are the 1st Rd opponents for the random draw weights, no? For instance Nick drew Thornton (Purdue), who I don't believe is anywhere close to the worst B1G wrestler @ 25 (and much closer to the 9th best.....).
Correct. After the top 8 it's a random draw for the rest of the bracket. Like Martinez gets Sebastian in the first round at 165 and he is probably the best unseeded wrestler at 165.
I understand that, I'm simply suggesting the committee take a look at the process for next year. 6 just seems extreme.
Perhaps if one team has 3 or more 'auto' byes, their other wrestlers can be withdrawn from the random draw.
I believe the bracket flips on the back end so the 4/5 loser drops down. at least that is what it did in the past.
I thought so too. Anyway, it said "Loser of 11". Brackets didn't show the numbers though, I figured 11 was Clark v Rappo.
Due to the byes we start out 12 points lower, 258, than the max possible. Iowa and Ohio State start out at 264.
The Penn State Wrestling Club's page is the best. With having many #1/2 seeds in 5 Pre-Seeded brackets, plus Vincenzo and Matt getting byes in the in the non Pre-Seeded brackets, our max team score possible is 6 points lower than the second lowest (Iowa and OSU).
I have to keep pinching myself and remembering that the reason we have the least Max, is because we have the MOST highly seeded, so this will work itself out very quickly. I like where we sit
Here is their table, and the link below. Again, they have the greatest to track progress

Those brackets are awful, not from a PSU perspective, but from a bracket perspective. No bout numbers anywhere.
Re-ordered by score ...
270 - Indiana, Michigan State, Minnesota, Purdue, Wisconsin
268 - Maryland, Michigan, Northwestern, Rutgers
266 - Illinois, Nebraska
264 - Iowa, Ohio State
258 - Penn State
OMG we're in last place !! FIUR CARL !!

I agree with this statement completely. Good to see somebody else thinking this way.
Maybe I'm being silly but I go into a competitive event looking to score as many points as possible, not wishing I don't get hurt.
How often are elite wrestlers going to get injured wrestling fish with losing records ?
I'll take my chances

Next year PSU might have 8 wrestlers seeded 1 or 2, and all 8 might get byes. That is a good thing, to have high seeds.
Sorry but maximum total points has nothing to do with achievable points. I for one am not bothered by MSU having a maximum potential (the impossible dream) which is higher than ours. What are our projected points? That's a more interesting number and likely higher than anyone else's.
Also, no seeds seem to have changed since the pre-seeds were announced.

If all the higher seeds win except for Law, if I figured right, the 4 man bracket for 9th would be Stickley vs Eicher and Law vs Delvecchio and the winners wrestling for the last AQ spot.
i'm looking for that strange thing to happen... Law with an upset special! Don't we all play the lottery as well?
