NCAA seeding

[jack66]

Nine #1 seeds made the finals. Five #1 seeds were champions.

Seven #2 seeds made the finals. Three #2 seeds won the championship.

There were six #1 vs #2 matches in the finals.

Two #3 seeds won championships.

#7 seed Sloan was the highest seed to make the finals.

At 157, #6, Cardinas was the only top-8 seed who failed to AA. #9 Lewan took his place.

At 174, #8, Ruth was the only top-8 wrestler to fail to AA. He was replaced by #11 Brands.

#27 and #28 seeds fought it out for 7th pace at 125 ... they were the 2 highest seeds to reach AA.

Does this mean 157 and 174 were the best seeded weights?

We already know 184 was stupid from the start.

And little tweak of your message. #27 and #28 are the “lowest” seeds.

Not too shabby a job with seeding the top guys, especially given how few matches guys wrestle these days relative to years/eras past (fewer data points to consider).

#28 Cardinale stood out as an outlier, but I presume he was being “punished” for essentially skipping his conference tourney.

And Brands had himself a surprisingly good tournament. Following Matcast on my laptop while also watching main coverage on TV, it seemed like every time I peeked in on his match he was scoring points — even had a dude on his back at one check-in. It was mutinous. Good on him. 👍🏻

It was mutinous. Lol. Good line.

Brands was the second biggest surprise of Iowa's tournament.

Who was first? I thought Warner might quit, but he represented himself very well. I am still wondering if Paul has soothed Mrs. Warner?

Brooks did great as the lowly 3 seed

You didn't use the sarcasm font, or an emoji, so I'll bite. Spencer was the biggest surprise of Iowa's tourney.

I just figured you would assume since it was me posting about Iowa, sarcasm was implied.
However, I appreciate or application your response.

Biggest surprise: Tiger is still the best Woods.

I have not, but I am open to further dialogue with her if she is going to act sane and not crazy! She was a definite DYKWIA!

My friend is stats and spreadsheet geek, this is his handiwork. I am certain someone else has done this as well but just thought I would through it out there for those of us who like this sort of thing.https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0?ui...8177&view=att&disp=safe&realattid=f_lfh856x40

I hope this works.
