NCAA FLO P4P Rankings Minus the Seniors..Any thoughts?

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

We also get giddy with our rankings and wins perhaps forget some important things.

Imar is damn good. It's almost as if the finals is an indicator of what will happen going forward. What I know is he has only lost twice. There's a reasonable chance this tilts back in his favor as he goes to work and watch film.

Valencia v Hall will happen again and....each match is going to look like the last one....close and unpredictable in the outcome. I feel like Zahid is the lost guy in this conversation, lost only due to a very tight difficult loss to Mark.

In three years of eligibility, I-Mar has made 3 finals appearances - 2 NCAA Championships and a 2nd Place finish. Over that span, he is 96-2 with both of his losses coming against wrestlers who also currently hold an NCAA Championship. I wouldn't necessarily bet against those credentials going into his final year of eligibility. Also relevant to keep in mind that VinJo was 1-2 against I-Mar last year. Obviously VinJo has proven that he can win this match, but history suggests that I-Mar is likely to be in the next year with a very good possibility that he is undefeated going into the Championship (I-Mar went into the NCAA Finals with a 33-0, 30-1 and 31-0 record his Fr, So and Jr years of eligibility respectively).

i think Hall will face a Valencia again, but Im not sure it will be Zahid. I wouldnt be shocked to see him up at 184 next year, and Anthony at 174...

Expecting a bump with T-shirt coming in

Nobody has mentioned where Zain's "close" matches happened. Hostile territory to say the least, and in OSU match PSU was winless without any momentum.

Meh. Zain isn't bothered by either of those things. He had off days. It happens.

If Hagerty calls stalling the way the rule is written, his match with Collica goes a lot differently. Hagerty admitted later that he interpreted the rule incorrectly.

Easy now. People have had lunch with groups of officials and they will tell you that Hagerty was correct and did not interpret the calls in any wrong way.

You know, sort of like having lunch with a group of chefs who never messed up an order.
